Abstract
ABSTRACT Two new suctobelbid mite species (Oribatida, Suctobelbidae), Suctobelbella (Flagrosuctobelba) crassisetosa sp. nov. and Suctobelbila tetrasetosa sp. nov. are described based on adults collected from leaf litter in secondary semi-evergreen tropical forest in Mexico. Suctobelbella (F.) crassisetosa sp. nov. is similar to S. (F.) muronokiensis and S. (F.) plumosa in having thick notogastral setae and numerous lateral teeth on the rostrum, but differs from both by the number of genital setae, and the morphology and length of some notogastral setae. Suctobelbila tetrasetosa sp. nov. is similar to S-bila dentata in having one pair of notogastral tubercles, three pairs of simple lateral teeth on the rostrum and short notogastral setae, but differs from the later by the number of genital setae and the presence of long notogastral cristae.
