Two new species of the family Diptilomiopidae (Acari: Eriophyoidea) from China are described and illustrated. They are Catarhinus sanguinalus sp. nov. on Digitaria sanguinalis (Poaceae) and Rhyncaphytoptus mandshuricae sp. nov. on Fraxinus mandshurica (Oleaceae). Both new species are vagrant on lower leaf surface. No apparent damage to the host was observed. In addition to the descriptions, a key to Catarhinus species was provided.

Paratypes, 6 females with the same data as holotype. Relation to host. Vagrant on leaf undersurface. No damage to the host was observed. Etymology. The specific designation sericeaomeiensis is from the host plant species name, sericea ssp. omeiensis. Differential diagnosis. This species is similar to R. roxburghis Xue, Song & Hong, 2006, but can be differentiated from the latter by dorsal annuli with spiny microtubercles projecting posteriad from the rear annular margin (dorsal annuli smooth in R. roxburghis), ventral annuli with spiny microtubercles projecting posteriad from the rear annular margin (large, rough microtubercles projecting posteriad from the rear annular margin in R. roxburghis), and scapular setae (sc) projecting forward (scapular setae projecting posterior in R. roxburghis)., Published as part of Xue, Xiao-Feng, Song, Zi-Wei & Hong, Xiao-Yue, 2009, One new genus and five new species of Rhyncaphytoptinae from China (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Diptilomiopidae), pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 1992 on pages 7-12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.185571, {"references":["Xue, X. - F., Song, Z. - W. & Hong, X. - Y.

Etymology. The generic name is combined from Cuihua (name of location Cuihua Mountain, where the type species was collected) and carus, a contraction of Acarus. Notes. The new genus is assigned to Eriophyoidea, Diptilomiopidae, Rhyncaphytoptinae. The new genus is similar to Rhinophytoptus Liro, 1943, but can be differentiated from the latter by scapular tubercles very long (scapular tubercles normal in length in Rhinophytoptus). The new genus is also similar to Rhinotergum Petanovic, 1998, but can be differentiated from the latter by scapular tubercles very long (scapular tubercles normal in length in Rhinotergum), dorsal opisthosoma annuli without fissures (dorsal opisthosoma annuli with irregular longitudinal fissures in Rhinotergum)., Published as part of Xue, Xiao-Feng, Song, Zi-Wei & Hong, Xiao-Yue, 2009, One new genus and five new species of Rhyncaphytoptinae from China (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Diptilomiopidae), pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 1992 on page 4, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.185571, {"references":["Liro, J.

(Fagaceae), Zhuque Mountain, Jilin City, Jilin Province, China, 2 July 2006, coll. Xiao-Feng Xue and Zi-Wei Song. Paratypes, 5 females with the same data as holotype. Relation to host. Vagrant on leaf surface. No damage to the host was observed. Etymology. The specific designation jilinensis is from the name of the location, Jilin Province, where the new species was collected. Differential diagnosis. This species is the second Brevulacus species described, and is similar to B. reticulatus Manson, 1984, but can be differentiated from the latter by median line short on prodorsal shield (median line complete in B. reticulatus protogyne female), dorsal annuli with rounded microtubercles projecting posteriad from the rear annular margin (dorsal annuli with faint microtubercles on rear annular margin in B. reticulatus protogyne female), and dorsal opisthosoma evenly rounded (dorsal opisthosoma with weak central ridge and subdorsal ridges in B. reticulatus)., Published as part of Xue, Xiao-Feng, Song, Zi-Wei & Hong, Xiao-Yue, 2009, One new genus and five new species of Rhyncaphytoptinae from China (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Diptilomiopidae), pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 1992 on pages 3-4, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.185571, {"references":["Manson, D.
