Mites in the family Parasitidae (Mesostigmata) are important predators in soil ecosystem. During the soil acarine biodiversity study from diverse habitats in the Republic of Korea, we found newly recording species of parasitid mites of genus Cycetogamasus and Neogamasus. This paper reports two species Cycetogamasus coreanus and C. corculatus of genus Cycetogamasus and five species Neogamasus eogenualis, N. tikhomirovi, N. laciniatus, Neogamasus kengicus and Neogamasus mahunkai of genus Neogamasus as new record in the Republic of Korea.

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.
