Two species of mites belonging to the genus Whartonia Ewing, 1944, family Leeuwenhoekiidae (Womersley, 1944), were obtained from Carollia per­spicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) bats from mine tunnels in the municipalities of São José da Safira and Medina, Brazil: W. (W). pachywhartoni Vercammen-Grandjean, 1966 and W. (W.) nudosetosa Wharton, 1938. A table with all Whartonia (Whartonia) species and their respective morphological characters is presented.
