The previously monotypic genus Pseudorhopalia Wilcox & Papavero, 1971 is here revised, with description of a new species, Pseudorhopalia manauara, sp. n. The type-species, P. mirandai (d'Andretta & Carrera, 1951), is only found in northeastern Brazil, in the semiarid Caatinga biome. On the other hand, the new species is found in the humid Brazilian Amazonia, within dense ombrophilous forest and campina (scleromorphic scrub vegetation associated with white sand).
先前为单型属的假唇须螨属（Pseudorhopalia Wilcox & Papavero，1971年）在此进行修订，描述了一个新物种，马瑙阿拉假唇须螨（Pseudorhopalia manauara，新种）。模式种米兰达假唇须螨（P. mirandai，(d'Andretta & Carrera，1951年)）仅在巴西东北部半干旱的卡廷加生物群落中发现。另一方面，新物种发现于潮湿的巴西亚马逊地区，在茂密的喜雨森林和坎皮纳（与白沙相关的硬叶状灌丛植被）中。
