Neocarus is a genus of rare, relatively large mites in the family Opilioacaridae, characterized by primitive traits including six pairs of eyes and abdominal segmentation. Species in this genus are primarily associated with subterranean habitats in Brazil, including caves and ferruginous geosystems. Multiple new species have been described from Minas Gerais state, where they occur in both epigean and hypogean environments.
