The family Diplomaragnidae Attems, 1907 of the Asian part of Russia is reviewed and shown to comprise 11 genera and 60 species + 1 dubious species. Two genera and seven species are described here as new to science: Alineuma gen. nov., with type species A. rodionovi sp. nov. and Litovkia gen. nov., with the type species L. anisimovka sp. nov., Diplomaragna budilovi sp. nov., Diplomaragna dentifer sp. nov., Pacifiosoma shabalini sp. nov., Pacifiosoma acutum sp. nov., Pacifiosoma triangulatum sp. nov. Pacifiosoma asperum Mikhaljova, 2016 is recorded from the Primorsky Krai for the first time. Five genera are endemic to the Asian part of Russia. At the species level, the rate of endemism amounts to 91.7%. A key is given to all species of Diplomaragnidae presently known from Siberia and the Russian Far East. The distributions of the region’s diplomaragnids are discussed. Taxonomic remarks are provided for many species.

The family Micronoctuidae and the genus Micronoctua Fibiger, 1997 are reported from the Russian Far East and neighbouring countries for the first time. The family is represented in the region by two species in the genera Mimachrostia Sugi, 1982 and Micronoctua both occurring in Russian Far East, Korea, China and Japan. The northern distribution limit of the family Micronoctuidae is the middle of the Amur River (50°31΄N, 137°035΄E), reached by Mimachrostia fasciata Sugi, 1982. The new species, Micronoctua occi, sp. n. is described from Russian Far East, the Korean peninsula, China and the Tsushima Islands of Japan. The male and female genitalia are illustrated and compared with those of Micronoctua karsholti. Distribution maps for the two species are presented.

Two new species of oribatid mites of the family Damaeidae collected from the Russian Far East, are described. Belbodamaeus gobilliensis sp. 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 chopeensis sp. 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.

In a paper dealing with the Chinese species of the subgenera Ocypus Leach, 1819 s. str. and Matidus Motschulsky, 1860, the senior author (Smetana 2007) commented that, in addition to Ocypus coreanus (J. Müller, 1925), an additional, undescribed species occurs in the Russian Far East. Recently, the junior author collected a long series of specimens of this undescribed species in the southernmost part of the Sikhote-Alin mountain range. This material provides the basis for the present paper, in which the new species is described, illustrated and compared to O. coreanus.
