Acknowledgments:

I thank Dr. Wayne Knee for facilitating the loan of the Acari material from the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids and Nematodes, Ottawa, Canada. This research was partially supported by the cooperative agreement No. FEWZ-2021-0004 from the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

Annotation:

A new species of Carabodes (Klapperiches) (Oribatida, Carabodidae)—C. (K.) lindquisti sp. n.—is described from Guatemala, based on materials collected from lichens and moss mats on rocks. In addition, an identifcation key to the known species of the subgenus from the Neotropical region is provided.
