Abstract
The genus Orbiculobates (Oribatida, Plasmobatidae) is recorded in Mexico for the first time. A new species — O. bicornutus sp. nov. — is described, based on adults collected from leaf litter in secondary semi-evergreen tropical forest. An identification key to the known species of Orbiculobates is presented.
