Summary:A new species of the feather mite genus Trouessartia Canestrini (Acari: Trouessartiidae) is described from Myiobius atricaudus Lawrence, 1863 (Aves: Passeriformes: Tyrannidae) from Brazil. Trouessartia longiducta sp. nov. is remarkable in having the longest external copulatory tube in females among species of the genus Trouessartia . It differs from the closest species T. geospiza OConnor et al., 2005 in having the female copulatory tube extending beyond the level of lobar apices.
