Eleven new species of eriophyoid mites from the Tibet Autonomous Region, China, are described and
illustrated. They are Disella polygonumae sp. nov. on Polygonum sp. (Polygonaceae), Cecidophyes laetae sp.
nov. on Embelia laeta (L.) Mez (Primulaceae), Calepitrimerus tetrapanaxi sp. nov. on Tetrapanax papyrifer
(Hook.) K.Koch (Araliaceae), Calvittacus repandi sp. nov. on Mallotus repandus (Rottler) Müll.Arg.
(Euphorbiaceae), Epitrimerus bellae sp. nov. on Rosa bella Rehder & E.H.Wilson (Rosaceae), Prominens
brevitubuma sp. nov. on Viburnum brevitubum (P.S.Hsu) P.S.Hsu (Viburnaceae), Abacarus taiwanianae sp.
