The female of Oplitis paradoxa (Canestrini and Berlese, 1884) is redescribed from the designated lectotype at the Berlese Acaroteca. The associated male is redescribed. A comparison is made with the material published by the original authors. A new species, O. farrieri, is described. The use of the sweeping electronic microscope has revealed, among other things, unknown morphological details on the structure of the 'perigenital plate', the vertex, the scabellum and the camerostome. A connective shield, uniting the dorsal and ventral surfaces, is described.
