Abstract

The current research provides a new species description, Colopalpus kvavadzei sp. nov., and one new record, Tenuipalpus granati Sayed, 1946, for Georgian flat mite's fauna. Colopalpus kvavadzei sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on the adult female and male specimens collected from Achillea millefolium (Asteracea). The chaetotaxy of palp, leg, and body is presented. An identification key for the species of the genus Colopalpus distributed worldwide is provided. The flat mites of the family Tenuipalpidae reported in Georgia have increased to 35 species.
