Abstract
Neoseiulus neoparaki (Ehara) (Parasitiformes: Phytoseiidae) was described about 50 years ago and known only based on its original description from Japan. The original description is quite detailed and include most of diagnostic characters, but still not complete since it lacks the chelicera dentition and some important morphological features regarding leg chaetotaxy. Therefore, this species is redescribed and illustrated based on the material collected from Kuril bamboo, S. kurilensis in Sakhalin Island, Russia. This is the first discovery of N. neoparaki after its original description, and therefore the first report for Russia.
