Abstract
A new oribatid mite of the family Damaeidae is described from Hokkaido, north of Japan under the name of Damaeus ainu. This species is related to Damaeus arvernensis Grandjean, 1960 in having a vestigial setad coupled with solenidion on tibiae of legs II-IV and opening of humeral organ in lateral region of the podosoma, but the former is distinguishable from the latter mainly by numerical formulae of setae on epimera and legs.
