The newly described Balaustium ryszardi sp. n. is a mite collected from herbaceous plants in the Peloponnese peninsula of Greece, with shorter legs than other species of the genus. This is the third known species of Balaustium from Greece, and an identification key to the larval species of Balaustium has been provided along with a correction to the leg setal formula of B. nikae.
