Abstract
Two new diptilomiopid mite species of the genus Davisella Amrine, Stasny et Flechtmann are described from arboreal Meliaceae of economic potential from Bahia state, Northeastern Brazil—Davisella toonae sp. nov. from the exotic tree Toona ciliata M. Roem., and Davisella cedrelae sp. nov. from the native tree Cedrela odorata L. The two new species are vagrants on lower leaflets surfaces, and no apparent damage to the host plant was observed. Most of the nine species of the genus previously described were collected from the Americas and/or associated with dicotyledons. The two new species represent the first record of the genus in Meliaceae. An expanded diagnosis of Davisella and a key to the eleven species described is provided.
