Diptilomiopus augustifoliae n. sp. comes very close to Diptilomiopus ambromae Wang, Wei & Yang, 2009 in having the prodorsal shield with a reticulated network of cells and median ridges on dorsal annuli, but remains distinct by presence of scapular tubercles, absence of pedipalp tarsal ventral setae v, absence of accessory setae h 1, prodorsal shield with six cells in medial row and with posteromedial cell and genital coverflap with basal striations (versus scapular tubercles absent; pedipalpal seta v and accessory setae h 1 present; eight cells in medial row and posteromedial cell divided into two; coverflap with irregular broken patterning). This new species belongs to the group of Diptilomiopus having scapular tubercles in combination with a reticulated cellular network on prodorsal shield, at least 57 species belong to this group. Among these species, D. augustifoliae n. sp. comes very close to Diptilomiopus camerae Mohanasundaram, 1981 and D. debregeasiae Li, Wei & Wang, 2009 by the presence of a 6 - rayed empodium and absence of h 1 setae but remains distinctly different in having pedipalp coxal setae ep, basal striations on genital coverflap and number and arrangement of cells on the prodorsal shield.	en	Sur, Surajit, Roy, Sourav, Chakrabarti, Samiran (2018): Two new eriophyoid mites (Acari: Eriophyoidea) from West Bengal, India.
