摘要

Mites of the genus Leipothrix Keifer, 1966 are recorded from Russia and Ukraine for the first time. A new species, Leipothrix hirtus sp. n. from Carex hirta L. (Cyperaceae), is described and poorly known L. roivaineni (Liro, 1943) comb. n. (from Epitrimerus) from Eriophorum latifolium L. (Cyperaceae) is redescribed. Epitrimerus eriophori Roivainen, 1947 syn. nov. is considered as a junior subjective synonym of Leipothrix roivaineni. Taxonomy of the genus Leipothrix is briefly discussed.
