Oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida), also known as moss mites or
beetle mites, play important role in soil ecosystems increasing
the breakdown of organic material. They also have economic and
medical importance as hosts of various tapeworm species. This
book provides an overview of the taxonomic diversity, species
distribution, zoogeographical zonation, ecology, and the role of
oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) in Vietnam. It is a synthesis of
studies carried out by the author from 1980 to 2013, and is based
on his doctoral thesis defended at the Institute of Biodiversity and
Ecosystems Research (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) in 2014. The
fauna of Vietnam is known to comprise 320 species, 163 genera, 64
families, and 30 superfamilies; it is dominated by species of Oriental
origin representing 60.30% of all species hitherto known in Vietnam.
