A new species of the genus Zetorchella (Oribatida: Caloppiidae) is described from soil of Côte d’Ivoire. Zetorchella cotedivoirensis Ermilov n. sp. differs from Zetorchella deleoni (Higgins, 1966) by the presence of phylliform interlamellar and dorsal notogastral setae and nine pairs of notogastral setae. A revised generic diagnosis and an identification key to species of Zetorchella from the Afrotropical region are presented.
