This paper reports two newly recorded species, Itaquascon placophorum Maucci, 1972 and Itaquascon umbellinae Barros, 1939, of the genus Itaquascon (Tardigrada; Hypsibiidae) from China in the first time. The specimens of Itaquascon placophorum were collected from Tsinling Mountains (33°28′N, 108°29′E) at 2,040 m above the sea level and those of Itaquascon umbellinae from Taibai Mt.
