Two new feather mite species of the genus Trouessartia Canestrini are described from birds captured in Meghalaya (India): Trouessartia longidenticulata Constantinescu sp. n. from Pycnonotus cafer (Linnaeus) (Passeriformes, Pycnonotidae) and Trouessartia dicruri Constantinescu sp. n. from Dicrurus aeneus (Vieillot) (Passeriformes, Dicruridae). In the genus Trouessartia, males of T. longidenticulata show a unique character state in having the lamellae of the opisthosomal lobes with long and sharp denticles. Both sexes of T. dicruri differ from closely related T. delicatula Gaud, 1952 by smaller body size (T. dicruri males are 420-452 long, females 500-532 long, vs. c. 575 and 595, respectively in T. delicatula); males have the adanal apodemes without apophyses and the terminal lamellae in a shape of a parallelogram (vs. the adanal apodemes have a pair of apophyses and the terminal lamellae are semi-ovate); the opisthosomal lobes do not touch each other at the inner margins (vs. the opisthosomal lobes touch each other at the inner margins, at the level of setae h3); in females, setae h1 are lanceolate (vs. spiculiform).
从印度梅加拉亚邦捕获的鸟类中描述了特鲁萨尔蒂亚属（Trouessartia Canestrini）的两个新羽螨物种：来自纯色啄花鸟（Pycnonotus cafer (Linnaeus)）（雀形目，啄花鸟科）的长齿特鲁萨尔蒂亚螨（Trouessartia longidenticulata Constantinescu sp. n.）和来自铜辉椋鸟（Dicrurus aeneus (Vieillot)）（雀形目，椋鸟科）的辉椋鸟特鲁萨尔蒂亚螨（Trouessartia dicruri Constantinescu sp. n.）。在特鲁萨尔蒂亚属中，长齿特鲁萨尔蒂亚螨的雄性在体后部叶的薄片上具有长而尖锐的小齿，呈现出独特的特征状态。辉椋鸟特鲁萨尔蒂亚螨的雌雄两性与近缘的纤细特鲁萨尔蒂亚螨（Trouessartia delicatula Gaud，1952）不同，体尺寸较小（辉椋鸟特鲁萨尔蒂亚螨雄性长420 - 452，雌性长500 - 532，而纤细特鲁萨尔蒂亚螨雄性约575，雌性约595）；雄性的肛侧骨片无附属突起，末端薄片呈平行四边形（而纤细特鲁萨尔蒂亚螨的肛侧骨片有一对附属突起，末端薄片为半卵形）；体后部叶的内缘不相互接触（而纤细特鲁萨尔蒂亚螨的体后部叶在h3刚毛水平处的内缘相互接触）；雌性的h1刚毛为披针形（而不是针状）。
