The role of the discidium, as well as many other superficial cuticular structures on the lateral body of higher oribatid mites, is probably related to defense. They protect certain parts of the legs or provide a fixed structure against which a leg can fit when it is retracted in a defensive posture or thanatosis.

frozen alive to induce their defensive behavior before analysis, the laminar discidium appeared to cover the articulation between tarsus and pretarsus during the leg IV flexion close to the body, while other leg joints were covered by the ventral, blade-like foveolate projections of the trochanter and femur. Although this observation corroborates the expected protective nature of the discidium, it is also possible that it may work as part of a locking system operated with the leg IV claw, although the claw may have come loose from the discidium during preparation/observation of the specimens.

It is a smooth, thin, transparent, glass-like reflective laminar projection, of a different composition from the surrounding cuticle, and such a distinctive structure may be expected to have a specialized function. Considering its position close to the tracheal opening on acetabulum III and its fine, blade-like shape, it is possible that it can affect under-water respiration by assisting, for example, in holding/anchoring a plastron—a thin film of air attached to the body wall (
