A new genus and species of the mite family Tarsonemidae, subfamily Tarsoneminae, is described and illustrated. Its systematic position among genera of Tarsoneminae and its host association with bark beetles of the genus Pseudopityophthorus Swaine, 1918 in North America are briefly discussed. Les auteurs décrivent et illustrent un nouveau genre et une nouvelle espèce d'acarien de la famille des Tarsonemidae, sous-famille des Tarsoneminae. Ils présentent brièvement la position systématique du genre parmi les Tarsoneminae et son association avec des coléoptères sous-corticoles du genre Pseudopityophthorus Swaine, 1918 de l'Amérique du Nord.
