Nomina nova: Here all new oribalid names are listed as far as Ihey ca me 10 our knowledge. Thei r va lidily couldn't be examined here . Behind Ihe nomina nova you find in brackeis Ih e number 01 Ihe corresponding title in our ca rd index (see: Publica lions) wilh page reference 10 Ihe beginning of Ih e descriplion .

:" behind aulhor's names: These litles were found as a report only (Ihey are not quoted in Cyrill ic) .

Russian litles: The names of authors of Russian titles are Iranslilerated a ft er th e sched ul e in Ihe Bibliogra­ phia Oribatologica No 6 (1973), or Ihe spelling, used by the aulhor himself, is used. Tl1e litles of Russian publications are Iranslaled into English. They are wrillen in Cyrillic onl y, il we got th e origin al wilhout any Iranslation.

Dear Acarologists, in the last few years the production and sending costs rose, We beg for your comprehension, that Bibliographia Oribatologica in future will be sent to collegues onty, who return the enclosed order form filled,

30 Review Günter Hauman n (1991): "Zur Phytogenie primitiver Oribatiden ( Acari: Oribatida)." [Orig.: deutsch] dbv-Vertag, Graz, Austria. tSBN 3-7041-0194-X This thesis on the phylogeny of Oribatida bases on th e consequent application of phylo­ genetic systematics. A th eoreti cal introduction presents the rules of argumentati ons in the sense of W. Hennig. These refl ecti ons point out th e th eory of cogniti on which all ows to establi sh a cladogram or a congru ent cla ss ification of "Primitive oribatid mites" in th e sense of Grandjean and later taxonomists. In contrast to Grandjeans approach on a phy­ logeneti c system of oribati ds, where very oft en taxa are based on additi ons of plesiomor­ phous characters (the statu s of characters has not been reflected), Haumann tri es to re­ construct monophyletic groups on synapomorphous characters only. The transparency of his method and his th eoretical bas is allows him to give th e statement : "As every step of decision -finding in th e course of phylogenetic reconstruction has to be demonstrated ex­ plicitly, the results stay testable and open to critics." The main tool of analys is is a large li st of morph_o logical characters of th e described taxa (genera and higher), presented in a simple codati on. On each of the characters and tlie marphological diHerentiations th ere is a criti cal discussion whether it might be regarded as conve rgen cy. There are a lot of problematic · decisions, but most of th em seem to me acceptable. In such cases th e consequences of different interpretati ons have been dis­ cussed, allowing suHi cient transparency of th e argumentati ons. The main resul ts may be presented by citing the abstrac t: "The primitive oribatids and the Macropylina are paraphyletic groups; th e higher oribatids (Circumdehiscentiae) constitute a monophyletic taxon. The two fu ndamental sister-groups of th e Oribatida are not Macro­ pylina and the Brachypylina (the lalter are also monophyleti c) but th e Palaeosomata and the new ta xo n Monofemorata nov. The Monofemorata split into the sister-groups Enar­ thronota and the new ta xon Novoribatida nov. The ptychoid body-arti culation has not be­ en envolved once but three times, in the Mesoplophoridae, Protophloridae and Eu pyc­ tima." The phylogenetic rel at ionships wi thin the "primitive oriba ti ds", being a paraphyletic group, and the relationships within some smaller monophyla (Palaeosomata, Mesoplophoridae, Brachychthoniidae, Lohmanniidae and Euphthiracaroidea) are present ed in cladograms and in suHicient comments. The reviewer comes to th e result th at this phylogenetic ap­ proach is the best published up to now on th e whole "primiti ve oribati ds", being a conse­ quent and convincing hypothesis of oribatid phylogeny, which is based more on th e gi­ gantic and imposing work of Grandjean than on some recent systemati c designs using more or less typological characters for classification. However, acceptable phylogenetic analysises in recent literature have been inte grated in this phylogram. There are a lot of problems left unsolved, th ough. One of th ese,th e phylogenetic concept is no taxonomie system up to now. The problem of systematic categori es cannot be an­ swered by Hennig's phylogenetic cladograms, and probably far this reason ta xo nomy has been faded ou t by Hau mann . It is important to adopt a taxonomie concept to this phylo­ genetic one in future. Each higher taxon th an species has to be based on arguments of monophyly! But there are no general crit eria as convincin g as th ose for phylogenetic cla­ dograms. This book deserves being translated into English, because it should be read by everybo­ dy dealing with oribatid systemat ics and taxonomy. It deserves being discussed criti ca ll y as a basis for a new sta rt toward s a phylogenetic system of oribati ds. .
