INTRODUCTION Forest lakes and ponds constitute ‘environmental islands’ within forests, with specific vegetation, flora and fauna (Waldon 2002), and are important components of the landscape that contributing considerably to landscape biodiversity. They are particularly important in the Tuchola Forest, in northern Poland, where large areas are overgrown by Scots pine monocultures. They were commonly planted at the end of the XIX century and in the first decades of the XX century, when Scots pine was supported by the wood industry, and was a good source

Prey preferences and feeding-related behaviour of a Central European species of Scydmaeninae, Euconnus pubicollis, were studied under laboratory conditions. Results of prey choice experiments involving 50 species of mites belonging to 24 families of Oribatida and one family of Uropodina demonstrated that beetles feed mostly on ptyctimous Phthiracaridae (over 90% of prey) and only occasionally on Achipteriidae, Chamobatidae, Steganacaridae, Oribatellidae, Ceratozetidae, Euphthiracaridae and Galumni- dae. The average number of mites consumed per beetle per day was 0.27 ± 0.07, and the entire feeding process took 2.15–33.7 h and showed a clear linear relationship with prey body length. Observations revealed a previously unknown mechanism for capturing prey in Scydmaeninae in which a droplet of liquid that exudes from the mouth onto the dorsal surface of the predator’s mouthparts adheres to the mite’s cuticle. Morphological adaptations associated with this strategy include the flattened distal parts of the maxillae, whereas the mandibles play a minor role in capturing prey.

Hypovertex hispanicus sp. nov. and 8 February 2016 Tenuelamellarea estefaniae sp. nov. are described from amber pieces discovered in the San Just outcrop Accepted in revised form 22 February 2016 (Teruel Province). This is the first time fossil oribatid mites have been discovered in the El Soplao outcrop Available online 3 March 2016 (Cantabria Province) and, here, we describe the following new species: Afronothrus ornosae sp. nov., Nothrus vazquezae sp. nov., and Platyliodes sellnicki sp. nov. The taxa are discussed in relation to other Keywords: Lamellareidae fossil lineages of Oribatida as well as in relation to their modern counterparts.

Until now, the data on oribatid species have not been published. This paper presents a list of oribatid species collected during 21 years of ongoing research in three pine stands of different age. The faunistic records refer to 84 species (including 17 species new to the fauna of Latvia), 1 subspecies, 1 form, 5 morphospecies and 18 unidentified taxa. The most dominant and most frequent oribatid species are Oppiella (Oppiella) nova, Tectocepheus velatus velatus and Suctobelbella falcata. Key words: species list, fauna, stand-age, LTER, Mazsalaca INTRODUCTION Most studies of Oribatida or the so-called armoured mites (Subías 2004) have been relatively short term and/or from different ecosystems simultaneously and do not show long- term changes (Winter et al.
