Abstract
A new genus and species, Neohypoaspis ampliseta, is described and illustrated, and its unusual hypoaspidine morphological features are discussed. This mite inhabits the nests of stingless bees, Trigona fulviventris and T. hypogea from Panama, and is a predator on other mite species. All developmental stages are found in the nests.Keywords
