The oribatid mite genus Nothrolohmannia Balogh is reported for the first time from mainland Asia, represented by two new species from Thailand: N. thailandica sp. nov. and N. flagellata sp. nov. They are described and illustrated based on adult specimens from leaf litter of seasonal dry tropical forests. Nothrolohmannia thailandica sp. nov. is recognized by having two large, elongate, adjacent unpaired notogastral porose areas between setal pairs c1-d1; a pectinate sensillus without hyaline coating; relatively short notogastral setae: seta c1 does not exceed distance between c1-d1, and setae e1-2 are about half the length of other dorsal setae; uniformly simple epimeral setae; a short posterior sternal apodeme; heteromorphic genital setae; and three pairs of adanal setae. Nothrolohmannia flagellata sp. nov. is unique among its congeners in having curly, flagellate setae on the body and legs. A key to the five known species of the genus, all from the Oriental and Australasian Realms, is presented.
