Abstract The juvenile stages and adults of
two new Tasmanian
crotoniid mites Holonothrus minusculus sp. n. and H. glaesarius
sp. n. are described and illustrated. Holonothrus minusculus sp.
n. is similar to H. mitis Olszanowski, 1991 in body
dimensions and because the openings of the opisthosomal gland are
situated close to setae f2. It is similar to H. robustus
Olszanowski, 1991 in the length and structure of notogastral
setae. H. glaesarius sp. n. is absolutely different
from other known species of this genus and that is why it cannot be
compared.
