Acknowledgments:

The authors would like to thank coleopterologist Dr. B. Greenway (London, UK) for collecting soil samples in Bolivia.

Annotation:

A new oribatid mite species of the genus Neoribates (Oribatida, Parakalummidae) is described from Bolivia. A new generic diagnosis and an identification key to the known species of the aforementioned genus from the Neotropical region are provided.
