Abstract
Sixteen species of mites are reported associated with Popilius disjunctus (Illiger) (Coleoptera: Passalidae) in eastern United States. Two new species are described: Macrocheles disjunctus and M. whartoni. Changes in nomenclature are as follows: Cosmolaelaps passali Hunter and Mollin = C. trifidus (Pearse and Wharton), new synonymy and new combination; Dendrolaelaps passalorum (Pearse and Wharton), new combination. Diagnostic features, as well as distributional and biological information are given for most species.
