A detailed description is given of a new species of the genus Epilohmannia Berlese (Oribatida) from New Guinea. The relationships of the species are discussed. The mouthparts, characterized by the fusion of the epimera of the segments of palp and leg I, are compared with those of the Palpigradi (in which group these epimera have also fused).
