The water mite family Aturidae Thor (Acari: Hydrachnidia) from Ghana, with the description of twelve new species Author Smit, Harry text Zootaxa 2016 4158 4 523 543 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4158.4.5 560e4a43-69cb-46b4-99f7-40d583fe455e 1175-5326 257473 C904ADAE-1B46-4E42-8E43-186DE2A078BF Genus Albaxona Szalay, 1944 The genus Albaxona is known from the Palaearctic, Afrotropical, Oriental and Nearctic regions. Two subgenera have been described, based on the fusion or separation of the genital field with the fourth coxae. However, according to Peši & Gerecke (2003) , this fusion is not suitable for discrimination of the subgenera. Consequently, the genus is now without subgeneric classification. From the Afrotropical region only one species is known from Liberia ( Cook 1966 ).
