Extract

Since Summers described Bryobia curiosa in 1953 from an unknown host in the Mojave Desert, California, this unusual mite with the stylophore cleft mediodistally has never been reported elsewhere. In 1959, two new, closely related species were discovered: one was found at Summerland, British Columbia, and is described herein; the other was taken in California. I am indebted to Dr. F. M. Summers, University of California, Davis, Calif., for the loan of specimens of B. curiosa and for permitting me to examine specimens of his undescribed species from California.
