Abstract
Ptychoid mites from Mexico are diverse, represented by 60 species of 17 genera. Data includes 6 genera and 21 species of the family Steganacaridae. Currently 5 species of the genus Atropacarus (Hoplophorella) are recorded in the country. Herein we present redescriptions and new records of A. (H.) singularis from Quintana Roo and A. (H.) hamatus from Puebla and Guerrero. New records for the country are given and a brief discussion on distribution is presented. A key to all the known species of Atropacarus (Hoplophorella) in Mexico is given.
