From epiphytic mosses and ferns of remnants of mountain forest in the páramo region of Colombia, Sturmius epiphytus n. gen. n. spec, a taxon that resembles the Katianniformia, is described, the appendices anales of which are, however, directed towards the posterior. Analysis of characters allows a statement of the systematic position: in phylogenetic systematics, Sturmius epiphytus and the Katianniformia form a monophylum Anteriora as the sister group of the Sminthuriformia; in Linnean categories, for Sturmius n. gen., a new family Sturmiidae must be established with a new superfamily Sturmioidea as the sister group of a new superfamily Katiannoidea.
