A new species belonging to the genus Uroseius Berlese, 1888 (Trachytidae, Mesostigmata) is described based on the morphological characters of three females and one male collected from caves in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The new species differs from other Neotropical species in having two shapes of idiosomatic ventral and dorsal setae, a character shared with Palearctic species. New occurrences of Oplitis apicalis Lopes, Oliveira, Delabie and Klompen, 2015 are also reported.
