description The present study is based on oribatid mite materials collected from benthic samples in four river locations on the Grande Terre Island, New Caledonia. A list of eight species, belonging to six genera and five families, is presented; among them are taxa that are new for the fauna of New Caledonia. One new species of the genus Trhypochthoniellus (Trhypochthoniidae)—T. grandensis sp. nov.— is described; it is mainly characterized by the nasiform rostrum having ridges; slightly polygonate ornamentation on the notogaster and in the anogenital region; the absence of the bothridial seta and bothridium; the relative length of prodorsal setae: in ˃ le ˃ ro; 14 pairs (p3 absent) of the notogastral setae setiform (except f1 as alveolus), nearly smooth; the relative length of the notogastral setae: c3, e2, h1, h2, p2 ˃ cp, e1, h3, p1 ˃ d2 ˃ c1, c2, d1, f2; six pairs of genital setae.
