Abstract

Two new species of oribatid mites are described based on adult specimens from China. Similobates linzhiensis sp. nov. differs from S. deficiens Wallwork, 1977 by its lanceolate shaped bothridial setae, and it also differs from S. staryi Ermilov, 2018 and S. demetororum Mahunka, 1982 by shorter adanal setae ad1 and ad2. Annobonzetes hamatus sp. nov. differs from A. sphaericus Pérez-Íñigo, 1983 by barbed prodorsal setae. The genera Annobonzetes and Similobates are recorded in China for the first time. The updated description and an identification key for the genus Annobonzetes are given.
