| abstract | Two new species of oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) are described from Western Malaysia, one each in the genera Eurhynchoribates (Rhynchoribatidae) and Sadocepheus (Cepheidae). Eurhynchoribates jendeki sp. n. differs from E. excelsior (Mahunka 1985) in the larger body size; the absence of a triangular tubercle between insertions of the lamellar setae; and the presence of the following characters: thickened lamellar and interlamellar setae, cerotegumental reticulate ornamentation on notogaster, furrows on anal plates and in adanal region, and foveolae in aggenital region. Sadocepheus sausai sp. n. differs from S. yakuensis Aoki 2006 in the presence of long adanal setae, long posterior notogastral setae p1–p3, and some long epimeral setae. |
