Abstract
A new species of oribatid mites of the subgenus Neoribates (Neoribates) (Oribatida: Parakalummidae), Neoribates (Neoribates) peruensis Ermilov sp. n., is described from soil and leaf litter in forests of Peru and Ecuador. This species differs from N. (Neoribates) fulvusSellnick, 1923 by the smaller body size and the presence of prodorsal longitudinal ridge and straight anterior margin of notogaster. An identification key to the Neotropical species of Neoribates (Neoribates) is presented.

We cordially thank Prof. Dr. Badamdorj Bayartogtokh (National University of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia) and Dr. Dong Liu (Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology, Changchun, China) for the valuable comments; Dr. Juliane and Erich Diller for kindly inviting one of us (Stefan Friedrich) to Panguana; Franz Wachtel (Grünwald, Germany) for expertise and assistance in the field and allocation of the Winkler extractors; Dr. Gerardo Lamas Müller and Dr. Diana Silva Davila (both Museo de Historia Natural, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru) for cooperation; and the Dirección General Forestal y de Fauna Silvestre for issuing a collecting permit (# 0276–2013-AG-DGFFS-DGEFFS) and export permit (# 000521-MINAGRI-DGFFS). This project was supported by Prof. Dr. Roland Melzer (Zoologische Staatssammlung München, München, Germany) and the “Freunde der Zoologischen Staatssammlung”. An overarching project, taxonomic study on Parakalummidae, was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (project: 15-04-02706 A to Dr. Sergey G. Ermilov).
