The morphology of juvenile stages of the oribatid mites Pedrocortesella africana Pletzen, 1963 and Aleurodamaeus africanus Mahunka, 1984 is described and illustrated. The juveniles of Pedrocortesella africana are characterized by: cuticle with reticular ornamentation and folds; body with microgranular cerotegument; prodorsal setae leaf-shaped, sensilli petiolate, tuberculate blades with a rounded distal margin; gastronotic region flat; larva and nymphs with nine pairs of leaf-shaped gastronotic setae; scalps folded, larval scalp with seven pairs of setae, nymphal scalps with six pairs of setae; leg famulus sunken. The juveniles of Aleurodamaeus africanus are characterized by: cuticle smooth; body with filamentous cerotegument and with very not numerous granules; prodorsal setae setiform (except short interlamellar setae in nymphs); gastronotic region convex in lateral aspect; larva and nymphs with 12 of setiform gastronotic setae; scalps with reticular ornamentation, larval scalp with nine pairs of setae, nymphal scalps with ten pairs of setae; leg famulus emergent. The comparative analysis between known juveniles in Plateremaeoidea and Gymnodamaeoidea are given.
