Abstract

All trachyuropodid mites described from South-East Asia are presented in a new illustrated key. Two new species of Bostocktrachys (B. surinensis sp. nov. and B. thailandica sp. nov.) from Thailand are described and illustrated. Both new Bostocktrachys species differ from the other known species of this genus by the strongly sclerotized lines of the dorsal shield. Four new combinations are proposed: Trachyuropoda (Leonardiella) imitansBerlese, 1905 is transferred to the genus Arculatatrachys, Trachyuropoda cistulataHirschmann, 1975 is placed in the genus Leonardiella, Trachyuropoda micherdzinskiiHirschmann, 1976 and Trachyuropoda tuberculataBerlese, 1913 in the genus Bostocktrachys.
