Abstract
Two new feather mite species of the genus Mesalgoides Gaud et Atyeo, 1967 (Analgoidea: Psoroptoididae) are described from two species of serins in Europe: Mesalgoides serini sp.n. from Serinus serinus (Linnaeus) in the Kaliningrad Region (Russia), and M. azorensis sp.n. from S. canaria (Linnaeus) in the Azores (Portugal). Both new species belong to a species grouping characterized by the trapezoidally shaped hysteronotal shield in females. A brief historical account of the systematics of the genus Mesalgoides is provided.
