For each species a diagnosis was given accompanied by a differentiating analysis between the closest related species.

Several methods were applied: Chao estimators, accumulation curves, one-way analysis of variance and correspondence analysis. Thirty-five species have been found in qualitative samples, whereas twenty-five species in quantitative samples. No species has been found exclusively in quantitative samples. The hypothesis tested has been that ptyctimous mites are microhabitat specific (leaf litter, dead wood, epiphytes, mushroom spawn) in the mountain rain forest. Only nine species have been described as stenotopic (occurring in one microhabitat) and three species as eurytopic (occurring in all studied microhabitats). The abundance and species richness of ptyctimous mites did not differ significantly between microhabitats. Analysis of the vertical distribution over the altitude range from 50 to 2160 m a.s.l. has permitted classification of ten species as lowaltitude ones, thirteen species as high-altitude ones and the identification of three species whose occurrence was not related to altitude. A significant fluctuation of the number of species and number of individuals, independent of the altitude, has been observed.

At nearly 200 loealities in all provlnces of Costa Riea, 76 species of ptyetimous mites (fi Mesoplophoridae, 31 Euphthiraearoidea, 39 Phthiracaroidea) represented by over 3300 speeimens have been found. Over 40% of speeies are new to science. Deseriptions of 32 new species have been given: Mesoplopltora (Parplopharus bacula sp. nov., Oribotritia alajuela sp. nov., o. allocota sp. nov., o. brerlsetosa sp. nov., o. Laselce sp. nov., o. nasalis sp. nov., o. partita sp. nov, Mesotritia semota sp. nov., Buphihiracarus (31)ex'US sp. nov.,

Two new species are described and illustrated: Phthiracarus bicarinatus sp. nov. and Austrophthiracarus lacunosus sp. nov. Three species are recorded from West Africa for the first time.
