Two new species of Bdellidae, collected from China, are described in this paper. Odontoscirus anzhouensis Wu & Guo n. sp. is described based on adult females, characterized by dorsal hypostomal setae (DHS) shorter than vh3，and different leg chaetotaxy/solenidotaxy. Cyta pseudokreiteri Wu & Guo n. sp. is described based on adult females and larvae, characterized by movable digits smooth and fixed digits with one tooth; chelicera with continuous longitudinal striae; setal formula of telofemora I–IV 6–5(6)–5(6)–4.

Bdella longicornis (Linnaeus, 1758) is a widespread species. There has been no description of its immature stages before. In this paper, we redescribe its female adult and describe its four immature stages for the first time based on the specimens from P. R. China. Meanwhile, the ontogeny of chaetotaxy in B. longicornis is discussed.

Male and immatures: Unknown. Habitat. Litter under oak trees. Distribution. Only known from Western Iran. Remarks. Hexabdella quercusi Eghbalian, Khanjani, Safaralizadeh and Ueckermann sp. nov. is closely related to H. mexicana (Baker & Balock, 1944), redescribed by Atyeo (1960), by having: tibiae I, IV and tarsus III, each with one trichobothrium; opisthosomal setae not branched distally; two pairs of eyes; palp basifemur with five setae; solenidotaxy of tibiae I���IV 3 ��� 2 ��� 1 ���0; it however differs in having: 1) striae between setae vi and sci irregularly broken and longitudinal in the former instead of finely and regularly broken in the latter; 2) fixed digit of equal length as movable digit, instead of two thirds the length of movable digit; 3) genital valve with nine pairs of setae in H. quercusi sp. nov. opposed to eight pairs of setae in H. mexicana; 4) coxa II with three setae in new species while four setae in H. mexicana; 5) subcapitular setae smooth instead of finely serrate; 6) basifemora II and IV with eight and four setae respectively versus seven and five; 7) telofemur IV with five setae instead of four setae; 8) genu IV with 5 (+ 1 ��) setae in H. quercusi whereas 4 (+ 1 ��) in the H. mexicana; 9) tibiae II���IV: 7 ts��� 7 ts��� 6 ts vs. 5 ts��� 5 ts��� 5 ts; 10) tarsi I���IV 18 ts��� 16 ts��� 17 ts��� 15 ts opposed to tarsi I���IV: 14 ts��� 10 ts��� 9 ts��� 8 ts. The new species also resembles H. persiaensis Paktinat Saeej, Bagheri, Saboori & Ueckermann, 2014, in having mostly the same leg chaetotaxy, smooth dorsal idiosomal setae and fixed digit of equal length as the movable digit; however it differs by: 1) palpal basifemur with five setae in the former while six setae in the latter; 2) basifemur III with seven setae in the new species whereas six setae in H. persiaensis; 3) genital valve with nine pairs of setae in H. quercusi sp. nov. while eight pairs of setae in H. persiaensis; 4) aggenital region with nine pairs of setae instead of eight; 5) marginal region between dorsal setae d 1 and e 1 with continuous striae in the former but fine broken striae in the latter; 6) marginal regions between legs II and III with broken striae in new species whereas continuous striae in H. persiaensis; 7) aggenital setae ag 1���5 covered in continuous striae in new species but all aggenital seta, ornamented, on broken striae in H. persiaensis; 8) tarsi I, II and IV with 18, 17 and 15 setae vs 19 (20), 16 and 16 setae. Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from Quercus, due to the oak-dominated forest where the new species was collected. Type material. The holotype and three paratype females were collected from soil and litter under oak trees, Quercus brantii Lindl, (Fagaceae), Baneh, Kurdistan Province, Iran, (35 �� 59 ' N, 46 �� 53 ' E, a.s.l. 1540 m), 17 January 2013, Col. Amir Hossein Eghbalian. Holotype and two paratype females (EHBH 15010 and EPBH 15011 ��� 12, respectively) are deposited in the Mites Collection of the Acarology Laboratory, University of Bu���Ali Sina, Hamedan, Iran, and one paratype female (slide specimen) will be deposited in the Mites Collection of Arachnida, Plant Protection Research Institute, Pretoria, South Africa., Published as part of Eghbalian, Amir Hossein, Khanjani, Mohammad, Safaralizadeh, Mohammad Hassan & Ueckermann, Edward A., 2016, New species of Hexabdella and Neomolgus (Acari: Prostigmata: Bdellidae) from Iran, pp. 291-300 in Zootaxa 4072 (2) on pages 292-295, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4072.2.10, http://zenodo.org/record/260608, {"references":["Baker, E.
