Abstract: Immature stages of Prasadiseius cocytes (Prasad, 1970) (Acari: Otopheidomenidae) are described for the first time based on live material collected from sphingid moths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) during an expedition to Peru in August 2010. Different idiosomal structures, setal patterns and some details of the gnathosoma using photos are provided.
