Abstract

Two new species of oripodoid mites (Oribatida, Oripodoidea) are described from the Kahurangi National Park in New Zealand. Angullozetes kahurangiensis sp. n. (Scheloribatidae) differs from Angullozetes rostratus Hammer, 1967 by the rounded rostrum and clavate bothridial setae with minute stalk and large, elongated head, and from Angullozetes arilloi Ermilov et al., Ecol Mont 18:75–81, 2018 by the presence of aggenital setae and three pairs of notogastral porose areas. Totobates elatus sp. n. (Haplozetidae) differs from Totobates elegans (Hammer, 1958) and Totobates ovalis Hammer, 1967 by the lanceolate bothridial setae. An identification key to known species of Angullozetes is presented.
