Belba
Belba is a genus of oribatid mites (family Damaeidae) established by Carl von Heyden in 1826, with Notaspis corynopus (Hermann, 1804) as the type species. The genus comprises soil-dwelling species distributed across Eurasia and North America. Members are fungivores, and at least one species (Belba kingi) has been subject to complete life history study.
