Abstract

The genus Ultratenuipalpus (Acariformes: Tenuipalpidae) is represented by 26 species worldwide. We describe and illustrate Ultratenuipalpus dicranopteris sp. nov. He, Jin & Yi, from Dicranopteris sp. (Gleicheniaceae) from Dicranopteris sp. (Gleicheniaceae). We also redescribe the female and supplement original description with that of the male, deutonymph and protonymph stage of Ultratenuipalpus hainanensis (Wang).
