Abstract

Two new species of oribatid mites of the superfamily Oripodoidea (Acari, Oribatida) are described from Trinidad and Tobago. Scheloribates (Scheloribates) tobagoensis sp. n. (Scheloribatidae) differs from S. (Scheloribates) papillaris Tseng, 1984 in the structure of the rostral and lamellar setae and leg solenidia, in the length of the prolamellae, the absence of aggenital setae, and in reduction of setae on tarsi III. Areozetes ryabinini sp. n. (Haplozetidae) differs from A. altimontanus Hammer, 1961 in the structure of the bothridial and notogastral setae and rostrum and in the number of claws on the tarsi.
