Abstract
The present study is based on oribatid mite material collected from secondary forest in southern part of Côte d'Ivoire in 2013. A list of identified taxa, including 51 species from 42 genera and 25 families is provided; of these, 10 species, seven genera and two families are recorded for the first time in the fauna of this country, and one genus (Exoripoda) is recorded for the first time in the Afrotropical region. Two new species are described. Granuloppia olszanowskii Ermilov sp. nov. differ from all species of Granuloppia by the presence of bifurcate bothridial setae. Exoripoda olszanowskii Ermilov sp. nov. differs from Exoripoda suramericana by the larger body size, the presence of dilated distally lamellar setae, and the absence of rough sculpturing on notogaster.
