The paper deals with a quaternionic Beltrami-type equation, which is a very natural generalization of the complex Beltrami equation to higher dimensions. Special attention is paid to the systematic use of the embedding of the set of quaternions H into C and the corresponding application of matrix singular integral operators. The proof of the existence of local homeomorphic solutions is based on a necessary and sufficient criterion, which relates the Jacobian determinant of a mapping from R into R to the quaternionic derivative of a monogenic function.
