Abstract
Penthalodes caucasicus sp. nov. (Acari: Penthalodidae) is described based on females collected from moss in Western Caucasus, Russia. Some morphological characters in the genus Penthalodes are discussed. The new species differs from closely related P. ovalis and P. polonicus in having three solenidia arranged in a longitudinal row on tarsus I.
