The family Parholaspididae is a highly diverse group of mites in mountain habitats of Korea. This study was carried out to investigate soil Mesostigmata biodiversity during 2008–2020. Soil samples were collected from various microhabitats of mountainous regions in Korea. We report new records of the following soil species: Gamasholaspis gamasoides, Neparholaspis serratichela, N. shinanonis, Parholaspulus excentricus, Parholaspulus maturovae, P. minutus, P. orientalis, P. paradichaetes, and Proparholaspulus suzukii. In this article, we provide morphological information for newly recorded species based on the adult stages of females and/or males.
