Oribatid mite communities of 14 different altitudes and vegetations were investigated in Mt. Karakunidake, South Japan. The oribatid mite communities were divided into the following two claster by the Whittaker's percentage similarity and a dendrogram of Mountford's method : the summit zone (above the forest line) and the montane zone communities. Oribatid community of the summit zone was quite peculiar in having Scheloribates lalipes and Parachipteria distincta as the most domhant species. In Maianthemo-Rhododendretum kiusiani on the summit zone, relative dcnsity of Scheloribates and Parachipteria was heigh, while that of Tectocepheus did not occupy more than 15% in number. On the other hand, relative dcnsity of Tectocepheus and Oppiella was very heigh in the montane zone and that of Tectocepheus increased in proportion to decrease in altitude.
