Paratypes are deposited in the collection of the Departamento de Biología Animal, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Spain .</p><p>Etymology. The species is named for  Ramón Novoa, son of the first author, in tribute to his collaboration on different expeditions to collect  Coleoptera .</p><p>Diagnosis. Labrum dentate. Male metatrochanters quadrate, bearing a curved tooth. Horse­shoe shaped cleft of male pygidial sternite with right side angularly curved. Aedeagus elongate, bifurcate at apex, with the longer branch curved backwards.</p><p>Description. Length 1.1–1.4 mm. Eyeless, apterous and depigmented species. Color pale brown. Body elongate and somewhat flattened, covered with fine punctures and furnished with a clothing of soft hairs. Head: Form trapezoidal, as wide as long. Anterior border of labrum medially sinuate, with two teeth on each side, the lateral ones shorter than the medial ones (Fig. 2). Antennae 11­segmented: antennomeres 1–2 enlarged; antennomeres 10–11 forming a club; antennomere 11 with a circlet of inflated setae. Both mandibles with simple tooth, never bifid (Fig. 3). Maxillary palpi five­segmented, the basal segment small, second largest, third and fourth bearing a sensory development, consisting of a slightly pedunculate base with a minute swelling (Fig. 4). Last segment rudimentary, much shorter and narrower than penultimate segment. Thorax: Pronotum: ovate, longer than wide, its greatest width before middle; sides slightly convergent in basal half; base arcuate. Elytra: base narrow, more or less concealed under pronotum; humeri slightly indicated; sides moderately widened posteriad; maximum width after middle; hind angles rounded and sutural angles perpendicular. Male metatrochanters quadrate, as long as broad, bearing a slightly curved tooth (Fig. 5). Female metatrochanters not dentate. Tarsi two­segmented: basal joint shorter, second bearing a claw. Abdomen: males with posterior margin of pygidial sternite (sixth apparent) bearing a large horse­shoe shaped cleft (Fig. 6); sternal valves of genital segment (seventh apparent) large and asymmetrical. Females without cleft in pygidial sternite and sternal valves lacking. Aedeagus elongate and asymmetrical (Fig.7), composed of a short and sclerotized basal swelling, followed by a constriction; a median part irregular, more or less rotated, with a flattened expansion on right side; apex bifurcate, with the longer branch bent backwards. Female genital complex longer than wide, anteriorly with sclerotized mushroom­like armature (Fig. 8).</p><p>Distribution. The new species is known only from the Natural Park of Fragas del Eume, located near the Atlantic coast in Galicia (northwest Spain).</p><p>Ecological Note.  M. ramon was found in a Atlantic mixed forest composed mainly of  Quercus robur Linne´,  Castanea sativa Miller,  Corylus avellana Linne´, and  Laurus nobilis Linne´. The species occurs in leaf litter, especially in the humus layer. The ratio of females to males in the samples was approximately 1:1.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DA030AFFCDAD14FEF7A82229CFFE9D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
