Berzercon ferdinandi gen. nov., sp. nov. (Acari: Mesostigmata: Discozerconidae) is described from carabid beetles in New Zealand. As in all Discozerconidae, Berzercon has large ventrally-directed opisthogastric suckers. However it is distinctive in its long marginal setae, tripartite gnathotectum, fused palp tibia and tarsus, the female%26apos;s large dome-shaped genital shield and the male%26apos;s highly modified hypostomal seta h1. This new species also represents the first Heterozerconina from an insect host.
