Abstract

Two new species of the sand-mite genus Leptotrombidium collected in China are described:. L. (Monosigmum) zhongi sg. & sp. nov. from Medog in Xizang Autonomous Region (Tibet), and L. (L.) shenzhense sp. nov. from Shenzhen in Guangdong Province. Leptotrombidium (M.) zhongi is characterized by one σ¹ or one galeala on leg I (σ¹ or g¹ = 1) only and has a ‘genuotibial solenidial frame' 1111, a pattern that differs from that seen in the other three subgenera of Leptotrombidium (s.l.), all of which have the frame of 2111. L. (L.) shenzhense is characterized by a combination of small body, short and slender legs, sparse body setae and a shallow protruded scutum.
