Hypoaspis (Gaeolaelaps) praesternalis Willmann, 1949, was collected from the soil of spinach-cultivated fields in greenhouses located in Hokkaido, northern Japan. This is the first record of H. (G.) praesternalis from Japan. Intraspecific variation was apparent in the length of the spermatodactyl of the male chelicera.
