Abstract
We describe the first bioinclusion found in a new Cretaceous amber outcrop, called La Rodada, in the Province of Asturias (North of Spain). It represents the first fossil record of the genus Epieremulus Berlese, 1916 (Acariformes, Oribatida, Caleremaeidae). A new species, Epieremulus sidorchukae, is described and a comparison with extant species of the genus Epieremulus and notes on their biogeography are provided.
