abstract: An annotated checklist of ptyctimous mite taxa, collected from the Joint Russian-Vietnamese Biological expedition (October 2013-April 2014) in four forest zones (Dong Nai Biosphere Reserve, Dong Nai Culture and Nature Reserve, Bu Gia Map National Park, Bi Dup-Nui Ba National Park) is provided. It includes 28 species, 16 genera and six families.

Supplementary descriptions of Apoplophora minuscula Niedbała, 2013 (see Niedbała & Ermilov 2013), Arphthicarus parasentus Niedbała, 2000 and Atropacarus (Hoplophorella) stilifer (Hammer, 1961) are presented.
