We present the systematics and ecology of a new species of arboreal oribatid mite in the family Peloppiidae (Acari: Oribatida), Dendrozetes jordani n. sp., a dominant arthropod on branch tips and arboreal lichens associated with western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Pinaceae)) and Pacific silver fir (Abies amabilis (Pinaceae)) in the coniferous temperate and montane forests of the Pacific Northwest of North America. Dendrozetes jordani represents the first record of the genus Dendrozetes in North America. The species is described on the basis of morphology of all active instars plus molecular sequence data for the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene. Dendrozetes jordani is compared with type specimens of D. caudatus Aoki from Japan, and a revised diagnosis of the genus Dendrozetes is given. Dendrozetes jordani has a stable, overlapping population structure through the year, and its association with trees in Pinaceae is an ecological characteristic shared with D. caudatus from Japan.
