Neotrombicula teuriensis n. sp. is described and illustrated. The type material was collected from the nesting grounds of the Rhinoceros Auklet Cerorhinca monocerata (Pallas, 1811) on Teuri Island, Hokkaido, Japan. This new species may be distinguished easily by a 2-pronged palpotibial claw (internal>external), sensillae flagelliform and a dorsal setae arrangement of 2–8–6–6–4–4–2.
