Type material. <b>Holotype</b>, female (slide number NJAUAcariEriH66, marked Holotype), from <i>Angelica</i> sp. (Apiaceae), Jiagedaqi, Heilongjiang Province, P. R. China, 50°24'27''N, 124°06'43''E, elevation 365m, 17 July 2008, coll. Xiao-Feng Xue, Zhen Wang &amp; Zi-Wei Song. <b>Paratypes</b>, 5 females (slide number NJAUAcariEriH16), with the same data as holotype. <b>Relation to host.</b> Vagrant on leaf surface. No damage to the host was observed. <b>Etymology.</b> The specific designation <i>angelica</i> is from the generic name of the host plant, <i>Angelica</i>. <b>Differential diagnosis.</b> This species is similar to <i>Tetra peucedani</i> Farkas, 1970, from <i>Peucedanum alsaticum</i> L. (Apiaceae), but can be differentiated from the latter by the prodorsal shield with median, admedian and submedian lines and granules (prodorsal shield smooth in <i>T. peucedani</i>) and dorsal annuli with filament microtubercles (dorsal annuli smooth in <i>T. peucedani</i>).
