Eriophyoid mites infesting spurges (Euphorbiaceae) were surveyed in Kandovan and Govgan, southwest of East Azerbai-jan Province in Iran, during 2010 and 2011. Two new species are described and illustrated: Aculops seguieranae n. sp.from Euphorbia seguierana Necker and Euphorbia cheiradenia Boiss. et Hohen, and Aceria cheiradeniae n. sp. from E. cheiradenia. No damage symptoms were observed.

Up to now, 64 genera and 178 eriophyoid mite species are known to occur on the Fagaceae. We described and illustrated herein seven new genera and eleven new eriophyoid species associated with plants in the family Fagaceae, collected from eleven provinces in China. They are: Bariella spinishieldis sp. nov. on Quercus sp.; Calesalquia tiantangzhaica gen. nov. & sp. nov. on Quercus sp.; Acaphyllisa quinqueridges sp. nov. on Cyclobalanopsis glauca; Jiangsuacarus huaguoshanensis gen. nov. & sp. nov. on Quercus sp.; Spinacarus guniujiangensis gen. nov. & sp. nov. on Cyclobalanopsis glauca; Calvittacus chenius sp. nov. on Quercus chenii; Cereusacarus maopingensis gen. nov. & sp. nov. on Cyclobalanopsis glauca; Neovittacus shitaicus gen. nov. & sp. nov. on Quercus sp.; Paracaliphytoptus yangensis gen. nov. & sp. nov. on Cyclobalanopsis glauca; Shaanxicarus glaucaer gen. nov. & sp. nov. on Cyclobalanopsis glauca; and Rhyncaphytoptus qimenensis sp. nov. on Cyclobalanopsis glauca. An updated checklist and a key to the eriophyoid mite genera on the Fagaceae are provided. Three new combinations are given: Jiangsuacarus abietis (Kuang & Luo, 2005) comb. nov. on Abies fabri (Pinaceae); Jiangsuacarus dolichocladae (Song, Xue & Hong, 2008) comb. nov. on Bambusa dolichoclada (Poaceae); and Coptophylla querci (Chandrapatya & Boczek, 2000), comb. nov. on Quercus mespilifolioidea (Fagaceae).

This article is devoted to a review of specimens identified as belonging to the genus Maraenobiotus Mrázek, 1893 reported for Bulgaria from the Rhodope and Rila Mountains under the name of Maraenobiotus vejdovskyi truncatus Gurney, 1932. Closer examination of the armature of the caudal rami and other morphological characteristics revealed significant differences between the specimens from these disjunctive populations and M. truncatus that had been originally described by Gurney (1932) from the United Kingdom. Based on these differences, the population from the Western Rhodope Mountains is described here as a new species, M. rhodopensis n. sp., and the population from the Rila Mountains is described here as M. rilaensis n. sp.

One new genus and six new species of eriophyoid mite from Mountain Trusmadi, Malaysia are described and illustrated. They are Isoannulus morrisianae sp. nov. on Diospyros morrisiana (Ebenaceae), Abacarus bicolorus sp. nov. on Lespedeza bicolor (Leguminosae), Parneometaculus persicariae gen. nov. & sp. nov. on Persicaria chinensis (Polygonaceae), Shevtchenkella miscanthis sp. nov. on Miscanthus floridulus (Poaceae), Davisella nitidis sp. nov. on Artocarpus nitidus subsp. lingnanensis (Moraceae), and Vimola blastis sp. nov. on Blastus cochinchinensis (Melastomataceae). Furthermore, two new records of eriophyoid mites are found: Knorella bambusae (Kuang & Feng, 1989) rec. nov. on Bambusa sp. (Poaceae) and Diptilomiopus melastomae (Boczek & Chandrapatya, 2002) rec. nov. on Melastoma malabathricum (Melastomataceae). All these new eriophyoid mite species and new records are vagrants causing no apparent symptom to their host plants.

Diptilostatus chimarricus n. sp. is described based on specimens collected on Ilex paraguariensis A. St.–Hill. (Aquifoliaceae), commonly known as yerba mate, from southern Brazil. It is the third eriophyoid mite species reported on I. paraguariensis in Brazil. This new species caused no observable damage to its host plant. A key to species of Diptilostatus is provided. Dichopelmus notus Keifer, 1959, also from yerba mate, is redescribed.

A new oribatid mite species of the genus Hypozetes (Oribatida, Tegoribatidae) is described from soil in South Africa. Hypozetes andreii sp. n. differs from all other representatives of the genus by the presence of heavily and densely porose body surface. Distribution data of the new species are presented.
