03F7879B4744B366FF29FD9CA28FFC09.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined. Paratype: Tanzania, W Usambara mts., Matundsi-mashidei ridge at 1300 m alt. 04.02.1985. Sumbmontane rain forest of the rocky Matundsi-Mashindei ridge, SW of Ambangulu Tea Estate. Berlese-funnel sample consisting of mass of fallen epiphytes. Leg. l. PEREGOVITS. The material is deposited in MHNG. The description by Mahunka in 1986 corresponds to material studied by the authors. Using the supplied text and figures it was possible to identify C. velatus without any difficulty, therefore a redescription is unnecessary. Mahunka 1986 stated: “ Finally, C. velatus has 13 pairs of notogastral setae ”. The 13 pairs of setae are correctly described and the regression of setae c 2 is confirmed.

Observation of notogastral setae was complicated, due to their length and the fact that they are twisted; sticky residue on the setal surface also impeded clear observation.	en	Jordaan, Anine (2017): Revision of the family Carabodidae (Acari: Oribatida) V (Fifth part).
