Male and other immature stages. Unknown.

Etymology. The name of this new species, varius, refers to the variation in the shapes of dorsal body setae c 1 and d 1.

Type materials. Holotype Ƥ, 2 ƤƤ paratypes and 1 deutonymph Ƥ paratype from decayed bark of Pinus sp., 40°18'27'' N, 37°35'01'' E, 996 m, Reşadiye, 11 V 2008; ZMAU.

Remarks. This new species is similar to Eustigmaeus variolatus Barilo, 1987 in the number of aggenital setae, absence of humeral callosities, shape of dorsal body setae and dorsal ornamentation. However, it can be distinguished from the latter by the dorsal body setae with hyaline sheaths, setae e 1 and f 1 cracked distally and setae ve the shortest of the dorsal body setae.
