    Two new oribatid mites of the family Damaeidae are described from Hokkaido, north of Japan under the names of Dyobelba kushiroensis sp. nov. and Epidamaeus fortisensillus sp. nov. D. kushiroensis is related to Dyobelba carolinensis (Banks, 1947) in having the same setal formulae of legs except for the setal number of trochanter IV, but the former is distinguishable from the latter mainly by the absence of propodolateral and ventral tubercles. E. fortisensillus is related to its congeners which have the combination of the following characters: almost straight or somewhat isodiametric sensilli with dense barbs, knife-like notogastral setae, and the setal formula (famulus and solenidion not included) of tarsai I–IV: 20–18–18–15. E. fortisensillus differs, however, from them mainly in the presence of ventromedial tubercles, different size of body, and the shape of interlamellar setae.

    The higher taxon where Oppiidae belongs to must be Trizetoidea instead of Oppioidea in the meaning of nomenclature. Authorship of Oppiidae is not Grandjean but Sellnick. The genus Lasiobelba was revised and the key to species was given. Two Japanese species, L. remota Aoki and L. insulata n. sp., were described. The genus Antennoppia was revived. A. capilligera (Berlese) was transferred from Lasiobelba. Oppia yodai africana D. Kok is a junior primary homonym of O. africana Evans. Damoeus Berlese is a junior objective synonym of Damaeus C. L. Koch.

    A new arboreal species of oribatid mite, Fissicepheus curvisetosus sp. nov., was collected from Quercus gilva growing in Ehime Prefecture, West Japan. The new species is readily distinguishable from the two known species of the genus Fissicepheus with 14 pairs of notogastral setae mainly by 1) median prodorsal condyle broad and tuberculated; 2) most foveolae of notogaster and ventral plate covered each by a large granule; 3) notogastral setae long and curved.
