Two feather mites, Zachvatkinia larica Mironov, 1989 and Ardeacarus ardeae (Canestrini, 1878) are reported for the first time in Korea. Specimens of Z. larica and A. ardeae were collected from the black-tailed gull Larus crassirostris and little egret Egretta garzetta, respectively. The genera Zachvatkinia Dubinin, 1949 and Ardeacarus Dubinin, 1951 are new to this country. Here, we provided morphological descriptions and illustrations of these two species. Additionally, we provide the partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) as DNA barcode markers.
