Description:
The second representative of the family Rotundabaloghiidae (Rotundabaloghia (Cir-cobaloghia) togoensis n. sp.) of Togo is discovered and described. It differs from the congeners based on the pilose v6, v7 and v8 setae, the apically peaked female genital shield, oval pits on dorsal and ventral idiosoma and the R-shaped peritremes. The list and an identification key to the West African rotundabaloghid mites is presented.
