During a biological investigation of some nunataks in the mountain ridges Heimefrontfjella and Vestfjella in western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, the austral summer 1991/92, three mites were collected. Localities for the species, Eupodes tottanfjella Strandtmann, Nanorchestes bifurcatus Strandtmann and Tydeus erebus Strandtmann, and notes on their habitat are given. All three species are reported as new to Sivorgfjella in Heimefrontfjella and Tydeus erebus also as new to the nunatak Basen in Vestfjella. A short description of Heimefrontfjella and Vestfjella as well as a summary of earlier publications on mites from Dronning Maud Land is also provided.
