A new genus of syringophilid mites (Acari, Syringophilidae) and two new species are described from the treeswifts (Apodiformes, Hemiprocnidae). Apodisyringiana gen. nov. is closely related to Philoxanthornea Kethley and distinguished by the presence of following characters: propodosomal setae are arranged 2-1-2-1; leg setae vs'I 7 are present, IGIV are absent. This new genus includes two new species: A. haszprunari sp. nov. from Hemiprocne comata (Temminck, 1824) from Sumatra and A. mystaceae sp. nov. from Hemiprocne mystacea aeroplanes Stresemann, 1921 and H. m. mystacea (Lesson, 1827), both from Papua New Guinea.
