The genus <i>Eupodes</i> Koch, 1835 (Acari: Prostigmata: Eupodidae) from southern African soil and vegetation. Part 1. Characterisation of the genus, designation of the type species and descriptions of three new species

Based on a study of the Eupodoidea of southern Africa, the genus Eupodes is redefined, with the incorporation of additional features, to distinguish it from other genera. E. striola Koch, 1835 is conceived as type species for the genus. Three new species, E. lutatus, E. indentatus and E. hamatus are...
