Abstract

Three new species of oribatid mites, Epilohmannia crassisetosa sp. nov., Furcoppia cattienica sp. nov. and Unguizetes asiaticus sp. nov., are described. All three are from dark loamy soil of Lagerstroemia forest in the Cat Tien National Park (southern Vietnam). The species E. pallida pacifica Aoki and U. sphaerula (Berlese) are newly recorded in Vietnam. Diagnostic keys to the Vietnamese species of Epilohmannia and Unguizetes are presented. Mochlozetes atypicus Mahunka, 1982 is reinstated in the genus Unguizetes.
