Two of them, Oplitis pecki Hirschmann, 1991 and Uroobovella faceta Hiramatsu & Hirschmann, 1978 are already known, however the other four species; Rotundabaloghia unisetosa, Trigonuropoda caudosetosa, Brasiluropoda costaricana and Cyllibula forroi spp. nov. proved to be new to science. Oplitis peckisimilis Hirschmann, 1991 and O. ellipsioides Hirschmann, 1991 are synonymized with O. pecki

Descriptions of eight new and seven known pecies of the uropodine genus Rotundabaloghia Hirschmann, 1975 are given from New Guinea, South Asia, South America and West Africa. Original descriptions and drawings as well as scanning micrographs are provided

Two new Uropodina species (Acari: Uropodidae) from a Pinus radiata plantation in Kenya

Two new Uropodina mite species are described and illustrated on the basis of specimens collected in a Pinus radiata D. Don plantation in Kenya. The first species, Trichouropoda mahnerti sp. n. differs from the other species in this genus on the basis of the setae association with oval pits on dorsal and ventral surface, the surface of genital shield and the setae length on the marginal shield. The second species Rotundabaloghia (Circobaloghia) perreti sp. n. differs from the other East African members of the subgenus Circobaloghia in the shape and sculptural pattern of genital shield and the positions of the ventral setae. New keys to the Eastern Afrotropical species of the subgenus Circobaloghia and genus Trichouropoda are given
