(2006) identify their Fig. 1(C) as a mite, &amp;lsquo;probably belonging to the Oribatida, based on the shape and presence of a scutum (reduced dorsal shield)&amp;rsquo;. While the identity of this mite is not in question, the published reasoning as given above is flawed. A scutum is an adaptation for parasitism found only in ticks and the larvae of some Prostigmata that allows the mite to swell up as it becomes engorged with blood or haemolymph. Oribatid mites are not parasitic and do not have a scutum; their dorsal shields are not reduced. We determine this specimen to be an oribatid mite based on the overall size and shape of the specimen, the presence of a characteristically inwardly curving rostral seta (reconstructed as an antenna by Kumar (2004)), and the presence of longitudinal striae on the idiosoma, which are characteristic of the oribatid superfamily Nothroidea. On behalf of the original papers&amp;rsquo; coauthors,&lt;/p&gt;
