Larval mites (Acari) parasitic on Opiliones from the French Pyrenees were studied. Three species of the genus Leptus (Erythraeidae) were collected two of which were already described: Leptus ignotus (Oudemans) collected from Phalangium opilio and Leptus beroni Fain (syn. Leptus holmiae Southcott) from Mitopus morio, Megabunus diadema and Oligolophus hansenii. The third species, Leptus gyas sp.n., was collected from Gyas titanus.. In addition, a second new species, Tetrathrombium gabasense sp.n. (Johnstonianidae), was collected from moss, covering a beech which also harboured Megabunus diadema, infested with Leptus beroni. These new species are described.
