Abstract
Two new species of spider mites (Tetranychidae) and six new species of flat mites (Tenuipalpidae) are described. A new genus, Philippipalpus, is also erected. The new spider mites are Aponychus pilipinus and Tylonychus cruzae, and the flat mites are Colopalpus philippinensis, Obuloides rimandoi, Philippipalpus agohoi, Tenuipalpus banahawensis, T. ilocanus, and T. palosapis. The flat mite Tenuipalpus meekeri De Leon is also added as a new record to the Philippine fauna.
