ABSTRACT: Two oripodoid oribatid mites, Indoribates (Haplozetes) minutus (Tseng, 1984) and Muliercula femoroserrata (Pérez-Íñigo et Baggio, 1980) comb. n., are redescribed on the basis of specimens from Brazil. Indoribates (H.) minutus is recorded for the first time in the Neotropical region. The recombination of two scheloribatid species, Scheloribates femoroserratus Pérez-Íñigo et Baggio, 1980 and S. orixaensis Badejo, Woas et Beck, 2002, as Muliercula femoroserrata (Pérez-Íñigo et Baggio) comb. n. and M. orixaensis (Badejo, Woas et Beck) comb.n., is proposed. An identification key to known species of the genus Muliercula is given.
KEY WORDS: Oribatida, Oripodoidea, Indoribates (Haplozetes) minutus (Tseng), Muliercula femoroserrata (Pérez-Íñigo et Baggio), new record, new combination, key, Brazil.
