Three new genera and three new species in the tribe Colomerini of the Eriophyidae (Acari: Eriophyoidea) from China’s Hainan Island are described and illustrated. They are Paraisoannulus machiles gen. nov. and sp. nov. on Machilus gamblei King ex Hook. f. (Lauraceae), Pentacecidophyes xinglongis gen. nov. and sp. nov. on Litchi chinensis Sonn.
