ABSTRACT
Two new species of Achipteriidae, Dentachipteria sidorchukae sp. nov. from moss and Cubachipteria clavata sp. nov. from soil in Yunnan Province, Southwest China are described and illustrated. Dentachipteria sidorchukae sp. nov. is most similar to Dentachipteria ringwoodensis but can be distinguished from the latter by the following characterstics: 3 or 4 pteromorphic denticles, seta in thickened, not reaching distal parts of lamellae. Cubachipteria clavata sp. nov. is most similar to Cubachipteria maxsellnicki, but can be distinguished from the latter by the following characterstics: seta in setiform, slightly barbed, not reaching distal parts of lamellae, seta le smooth, inserted ventrally on the lamellae.

A new species, Pergalumna (Pergalumna) sidorchukae sp. nov., and two newly recorded species, Pergalumna (Pergalumna) jongkyui and Pergalumna (Pergalumna) amorpha, of oribatid mites of the subgenus Pergalumna (Pergalumna) from China, are described and illustrated in this study. The new species is similar to Pergalumna (Pergalumna) yurtaevi, but it differs from the latter by the surface of notogaster, the shape and size of notogastral porose areas, and the absence of postanal porose area.

Two new species of oribatid mites of the subgenus Galumnella (Galumnella) (Acari: Oribatida: Galumnellidae) are described from soil and litter of forest zones of China. Galumnella (G.) nonporosa sp. nov. differs from Galumnella (G.) nipponica by the falciform bothridial setae and obvious reticulate pattern in the anogenital region. Galumnella (G.) sidorchukae sp. nov. differs from Galumnella (G.) cellularis by the laciniate bothridial setae and by the absence of postanal porose area. Morphological additions to the description of Galumnella (G.) parageographica are presented based on Chinese specimens, which is recorded in China for the first time.
