Two new species of Haplozetidae (Acari, Oribatida) from China
Two new species of the family Haplozetidae, Setoxylobates medogensis sp. nov. and Trachyoribates concavus sp. nov., are described based on adult specimens from China. Setoxylobates medogensis sp. nov. differs from S. palaciosvargasi Ermilov and Kontschán, 2023 in having setiform bothridial seta, thirteen pairs of notogastral seta, and lamellar setae positioned at the end of the lamella. Trachyoribates concavus sp. nov. differs from T. fenestrata (Balogh and Mahunka, 1974) in having a cuiticular reticulate pattern on the lateral regions of the notogaster, pointed rostrum, and the incision on the anterior part of pteromorph is absent.
