Tenuipalpus bacuri sp. nov. related to T. garciniae Meyer and Bolland, 1984 but its dorsal integumentary pattern much less elaborate and all dorsal idiosomal setae in female short, setiform and slightly serrate, except for very long pair of caudolateral setae h2 (in garciniae dorsocentral setae sub-spatulate).
