Abstract
A new species of the subgenus Endopodalius associated with agave weevil of the species Scyphophorus acupunctatus Gyllenhal (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) is described based on adult females from the southeast region of the Iberian Peninsula. This beetle, relative of the palm weevil, is an invasive exotic species already present in the Iberian Peninsula (Mediterranean region) as a new pest spreading among the agave plants. Morphological aspects of this mite, such as a simplified laelapid-type sperm access system, the remarkably elongated cheliceral shafts with an elongate subcapitular platform and other caracteristics reveals new undescribed attributes for the subgenus.
