Abstract

<p>A new species is described from southern Siberia, Tuva Republic, Russia: <i>Amphialycus</i> (<i>Amphialycus</i>) <i>holarcticus</i> sp. n. (Acari, Endeostigmata, Alycidae). This species can be recognized by its broad naso with longitudinally arranged striae; two pairs of cheliceral setae, posterior one being forked; three pairs of adoral setae; and a large number of genital setae. Two pairs of palpal eupathidia are close to each other, representing a kind of transitional form towards the fusion of the basal parts of eupathidia, observed in the subgenus <i>Orthacarus</i>.</p>
