Characters of the family Wettinidae (see Cook et al. 2000): dorsum with a large central shield bearing two pairs of glandularia and a pair of postocularia (Fig. 2 D), flanked by ring composed of 6 pairs of platelets (Figs 1 A, 2 A), with 1 th, 2 nd, 3 rd, 4 th, and 6 th pairs bearing glandularia; 6 th pair of platelet fused to each other, occasionally on one side 5 th platelet fused with 4 th platelet. Venter with coxal plates and genital field fused into a ventral shield (Figs 1 B, 2 C, 2 E); suture lines indicating posterior edges of anterior three coxal plates weakly indicated but directed posteriorly; IV-L insertion laterally, well separated from each other and without projections; coxoglandularia 1 in posterior edges of Cx-II; Cx-IV without glandularia; coxoglandularia 2 between Cx-IV and genital field. Legs: I-L stocky, I-L- 6 with a long and deep claw socket extending over more than half the dorsal segment surface (Fig. 1 E), claw large, ventral clawlet apically rounded, slightly longer than main claw (Fig. 1 C); legs I-IV without swimming setae. Genital field with 7 - 9 pairs of acetabula; acetabular plates fused with ventral shield in both sexes (Figs 1 B, 2 C); suture lines between genital field and ventral shield obliterated; excretory pore incorporated into ventral shield. Gnathosoma with relatively long apodemes (Fig. 1 K); palp slender, P- 4 bearing two short ventral setae inserting in the centre and a peg-like mediodistal seta (Fig. 1 F-G).	en	Pesic, Vladimir, Piccoli, Gustavo Caue de Oliveira, de Araujo, Marcel Santos, Rezende, Jose Marcos (2015): A new genus of water mites (Acari, Hydrachnidia, Wettinidae) from bromeliad phytotelmata in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest.
