Abstract

Korean fauna mites in the family Parasitidae of Mesostigmata were reported as 6 genera, 22 species. Among those 20 species were recorded from Northern part of Korea by Athias-Henriot (1977; 1980), Daele (1975) and Tichomirov (1977), but two from Southern part of Korea by Choi (1994) and Korean zoological record (KSSZ, 1997). During the faunal study of soil predatory mites of diverse habitats in South Korea, four species of P. beta, P. fimetorum, P. insignis and Poecilochirus carabi are the new records to Korean peninsula. Taxonomic details and other biological characteristics are reported.
