Abstract
The fauna of oribatid mites in nests of the bar-bellied pitta, the blue-rumped pitta, and the whiterumped shama was studied at the Dong Nai Biosphere Reserve (South Vietnam). The data on the taxonomic composition, total number of species, dominant species, and their occurrence in nests are presented.
