Costacarabodes turrialbai gen. nov., sp. nov. and Tuberocepheus kompsosis sp. nov. from Costa Rica are described using optical and scanning electron microscopy. Costacarabodes turrialbai gen. nov., sp. nov. is a new genus with particular characteristics: prodorsum with elevated interlamellar process divided by a deep depression; interlamellar, lamellar, and rostral setae very different in shape and size; eight pairs of notogastral setae; notogaster incompletely surrounded by circumgastric depression interrupting posterior notogastral zone; pedotectum I as normal extending lamina; pedotectum II reduced or absent; tutorium small, aligned dentitions present in inferior zone; epimeral zone with depressions; conspicuous longitudinal medial epimeral depression, demarcated by semicircular cuticular thickening; epimeral formulae 1-1-3-3; epimeral setae 3b, 3c parallel to each other; articulation of genu-tibia III and IV each with dorsal socket.T. kompsosis sp. nov. is differentiated from T. longus by pusticulate microsculture on ventral zone, humeral apophysis; lateral lamellar zone and epimeral zone; reticulate-foveate microsculpture on area of posterior prodorsal depression; punctate microsculpture on subcapitular zone; simple, setae with small dentitions: notogastral, rostral, interlamellar setae; simples basally inflated a sub-capitular setae; elevated interlamellar process with depressed central area, defining two triangular to polyhedral structures; polyhedral notogastral anterior depression well defined, with posterolateral cuticular ridges; three central notogastral promontories, of which two round to ovoid, and one semicircular; with lateral pairs of promontories (first pair large, oval; second pair medium sized, ovoid). Lateral prodorsum with anterior tutorial depression, well-developed posterior tutorial depression; anal plate with rounded depression anterior to sharp tip. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:4555F169-871C-4921-8710-A3DF8EF32AEE ARTICLE HISTORY

Nippobodespanemorfissp. n. and Leobodestrypasissp. n. are described by means of optical and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and compared to other congeners. The leg-folding process is described and illustrated.Nippobodespanemorfissp. n. is characterised by interlocking, double hook-shaped, posterior prodorsal condyle and anterior zone humeral apophysis; posterior prodorsal depression present. Tutorium a large lamina defining a pocket-shaped structure; bothridial opening ovoid, situated at the bottom of a U-shaped structure; deep, rounded-ovoid anterior notogastral depression present; ten pairs of notogastral setae; c setae looped, dentate, sharply tipped. Marginal setae h3, p3 on large promontories, followed by deep V-shaped incision; notogaster completely surrounded by circumgastric depression; lateral genital zone with locking structure constituted by longitudinal cuticular elevation, with promontories and a parallel furrow involved in the leg-folding process; genital plate smaller than anal plate.Leobodestrypasissp. n. is characterised by: the presence of posterior prodorsal depression and anterior notogastral depression; bridge-shaped anterior prodorsal condyles; heart-shaped frontal prodorsal orifice; ten pairs of notogastral setae; posterior prodorsal condyle and humeral condyle interlocked, forming double hook-like structure; circumgastric furrow surrounding entire notogaster; setae lp, h2, h1 situated on shallow medial furrow; notogastral setae lm, lp, h1, h2 medially aligned; p1, p2, p3, h3 marginally situated. Legs I-IV, tutorium, pedotectum I, and pedotectum II involved in leg folding which is inferred to be a protection mechanism.

“…These genera are morphologically similar in many traits, therefore their taxonomic status is treated differently by different authors (see some opinions, synonymies and combinations in Aoki 1970, Mahunka 1986, J. & P.

“…The genus Sagittabodes was proposed by J. and P. Balogh (2002) with Machadocepheus sagitta Balogh et Mahunka, 1966 as type species. The genus Zimbabweae was proposed by Fernandez et al (2016) with Zimbabweae pluosiae Fernandez, Theron et Leiva, 2016 as type species. All morphological traits of these genera and their type species are very similar, therefore Subías (2018) fairly synonymized Zimbabweae (we completely support this opinion), and included Sagittabodes as subgenus in Machadocepheus.…”

Two new species of oribatid mites of the family Carabodidae are described from litter in Thailand. Diplobodes parakanekoi sp. n. differs from Diplobodes kanekoi, D. africanus and D. aokii by fewer notogastral setae in the c-row, different number of notogastral tubercles, presence of a translamella, and the localization of dorsal notogastral setae. Machadocepheus pararachii sp. n. differs from Machadocepheus rachii by the positions of dorsal notogastral setae c 1 , da and la. The generic status of the related genera Diplobodes, Machadocepheus, Gibbicepheus, Gibbibodes, Kalloia, Neocarabodes, Sagittabodes and Zimbabweae is discussed.
