Abstract

Two new species of Mochlozetidae (Oribatida)—Dynatozetes asetosus n. sp. and Uracrobates (Uracrobates) paramasneri n. sp.—are described, based on materials collected from sweep sample in cloud forest in Venezuela. Dynatozetes asetosus n. sp. differs from all representatives of the genus in the presence of the prolamella and the morphology of the bothridial seta; Uracrobates (Uracrobates) paramasneri n. sp. differs from all representatives of the genus by the morphology of the notogastral porose area Aa. The genus Uracrobates is recorded in the Venezuelan fauna for the first time. Identification keys, distribution and habitat to the known species of Dynatozetes and Uracrobates are provided. The generic diagnosis of Dynatozetes is partially revised.
