A new species of the genus Spatiodamaeus (Oribatida, Damaeidae) is described from Russia, based on adult and juvenile instars collected from bark of Acer platanoides and soil-litter of mixed and broadleaf forests in European part of Russia and Western Siberia. The adult of Spatiodamaeus kalugaensis sp. nov. is similar to S. nortoni (Bayartogtokh, 2004) comb. nov. in having epimeral neotrichy but differs from the latter by the presence of the parastigmatic tubercle Sa, the form of the parastigmatic tubercle Sp and the notogastral setae c1, c2, and the barbulation of the rostral, epimeral, anogenital, and notogastral setae of p-series. Comparisons between juvenile instars of the new species and the known juveniles of Spatiodamaeus and Epidamaeus are presented.
一种新的 Spatiodamaeus 属（Oribatida，Damaeidae）物种，基于成年和幼年个体，从俄罗斯欧洲部分和西西伯利亚的槭树和混合及阔叶森林的树皮以及土壤-凋落物中采集，被描述。新种 Spatiodamaeus kalugaensis sp. nov. 的成年个体与 Spatiodamaeus nortoni（Bayartogtokh，2004）comb. nov. 相似，均具有后生栉毛，但与后者不同的是，前者具有副跗棘 Sa、副跗棘 Sp 的形态、以及触毛 c1、c2 和 p 系列的刚毛的棘化，并且存在肛后棘。新种的幼体与已知的 Spatiodamaeus 和 Epidamaeus 幼体之间的比较。
