Three new species of the tribe Phyllocoptini (Acari: Eriophyidae) from China, are described and illustrated. They are Phyllocoptes gaotainensussp. n. on Populus euphratica (Salicaceae), Calepitrimerus anomalussp. n. on Paeonia anomala (Paeoniaceae) and Paraepitrimerus stellarussp. n. on Stellaria sp. (Caryophyllaceae). Based on the characteristics of dorsal and ventral annuli smooth, P. gaotainensussp. n. may represent a deutogyne form. All three new species are vagrant on the lower leaf surface. No damage to the host was observed.
