Abstract

Two new species of oribatid mites of the family Damaeidae collected from the Russian Far East, are described. Belbodamaeus gobilliensissp. nov. is most similar to Belbodamaeus rarituberculatus Bayartogtokh, 2004, but differs from the latter by the larger body size, the absence of propodolateral apophyses and ventrosejugal tubercles, and the presence of prodorsobasal tubercles Ba, neotrichy on epimere II and five setae on femora III and IV. Epidamaeus chopeensissp. nov. is most similar to Epidamaeus nortoni Bayartogtokh, 2004, but differs from the latter by the smaller body size, the presence of comparatively long and narrowly phylliform dorsal notogastral setae, parastigmatic apophyses Sa and leg tarsi formula 22-18-18-15, and the absence of thick setae on leg segments.
