Abstract

Two Erythraeidae (Actinotrichida, Trombidiformes) species, Abrolophus miniatus (Hermann, 1804) and Leptus (Leptus) molochinus (C.L. Koch, 1837), were recorded for the first time in Latvia. The former species was found in the soil and vegetation of a mesophytic meadow, whereas the latter was registered walking alive in a dry insect collection box. A list of terrestrial Parasitengona mites, including members of Erythraeidae, Trombidiidae, Podothrombiidae, Microtrombidiidae and Johnstonianidae, hitherto recorded from Latvia is provided.

Key words: Abrolophus, larva, Leptus, mites, postlarva.
