RESUMEN
Apterous viviparous females of a new species of the Lachninae genus Maculolachnus Gaumont, 1920 from India and Pakistan are described here. The new species, Maculolachnus blackmani sp. nov. can be recognized among other representatives of this genus by stiff body setae with expanded or slightly flabellate apices in contrast to hair-like, fine and pointed setae in all other species. The similarities and differences from two other most common species of MaculolachnusM. sijpkensi Hille Ris Lambers and M. submacula (Walker) have been compared. A key to apterous viviparous females of Maculolachnus is also presented.

Two new genera, Brevishieldophyes Chakrabarti & Pandit, gen. n. and Mesoshieldophyes Chakrabarti & Pandit, gen. n., and a new species Mesoshieldophyesvarecae Chakrabarti & Pandit, sp. n. are described. These mites are leaf vagrants. The morphological characters of the afore-mentioned genera and those of Ashieldophyes Mohanasundaram are compared. A key for separating the genera within the subfamily Ashieldophyinae is provided. The diagnostic characters of the subfamily Ashieldophyinae are also revised.

Two new genera and two new species of eriophyoid mites viz., Propeaciota genusetosis n. gen. and n. sp. infesting Acer sp. (Aceraceae) and Spinaephyes alnus n. gen. and n. sp. infesting Alnus nepalensis D. Don (Betulaceae) are described in the tribe Tegonotini (Eriophyidae: Phyllocoptinae) from North Bengal, India. Aciota secundum Flechtmann et al.1995 is re-assigned (n. comb.) to Propeaciota. Relationships of the new genera with other eriophyoid genera are discussed.
