Type material. Holotype, female (slide number NJAUAcariEri334, marked Holotype), from Betula albosinensis Burkill (Betulaceae) , Changqing Nature Reserve, Huayang Town, Yang County, Shaanxi Province, P. R. China, 34°41'57' N, 107°37'09' E, elevation 2187m, 9 August 2005, coll. Xiao-Feng Xue & Zi-Wei Song. Paratypes, 6 females and 3 males (slide number NJAUAcariEri334), with the same data as holotype; 3 females (slide number NJAUAcariEri570) from Betula ermanii Cham. (Betulaceae) , Changbai Mountain, Jilin Province, P. R. China, 42°02'27' N, 128°03'30' E, elevation 1892m, 26 June 2006, coll. Xiao-Feng Xue & Zi-Wei Song.
Relation to host. Vagrant on leaf surface. No damage to the host was observed.
Etymology. The specific designation albosinensis is from the species name of host plant, albosinensis .
Differential diagnosis. This species is similar to Anthocoptes insulanaes Huang & Wang, 2004 , but can be differentiated from the latter by having the admedian lines separated on the prodorsal shield (admedian lines connected on prodorsal shield in Anthocoptes insulanaes ), coxal plates II with granules (coxal plates II smooth in Anthocoptes insulanaes ), and tarsal empodium 5-rayed (tarsal empodium 7-rayed in Anthocoptes insulanaes ).
