Abstract

Two new species of Scutacaridae, Scutacarus variabilissp. nov. and S. olszanowskiisp. nov. are described from Faan Meintjes Nature Reserve, central South Africa. Both species were collected from the workers of Anoplolepis sp. ants. An unusual variability in number of setae on tibiotarsus IV in S. variabilis is discussed.
