Three new species of chigger mites, Eiarombicida costaricensis sp. n., Eutrombicula passerinornin sp. n., and Eutrombicula heclochaela sp. n. are described from wild birds from Costa Rica. Two species, Ewrombicula pacae (Floch et Fauran, 1957) and Parasecia fundata (Brennan, 1969), are recorded for the first time in Costa Rica and on new host species. Data on the distribution of Blankaartia sinnamaryi (Floch et Fauran, 1956) in Costa Rica are also reported.
