- Abstract
Limnohalacarus cultellatus Viets, 1940 was collected from an anchialine cave (Cenote Bang) in the Ox Bel Ha system located near Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico. This species has been recorded from the Antilles, Brazil, Hungary, India, Madagascar, El Salvador and USA. The record presented here is the first one of the species for Mexico and the first record for an halacarid mite from continental waters in the country. A key to the species of Limnohalacarus is given as well as information about the variation shown by the organisms named under L. cultellatus.
