ABSTRACT. A new species belonging to the genus Typhlodromips De Leon, 1965 is described. It was collected from Calluna moorland soil on Jurmo, a remote island in the SW archipelago of Finland. Typhlodromips herbarius (Wainstein, 1960) is considered a senior synonym of T. tenuis (Westerboer, 1963), syn.n. A key is given to related species with a similar spermathecal structure.
