AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF TERRESTRIAL PARASITENGONA (ACTINOTRICHIDA: PROSTIGMATA) OF THE WORLD, EXCLUDING TROMBICULIDAE AND WALCHIIDAE

We provide a check-klist of nominal taxa of terrestrial Parasitengona mites (excl. Trombiculidae and Walchiidae) distributed worldwide and assigned to three super-families, i.e. Calyptostomatoidea, Erythraeoidea and Trombidioidea. The list contains 1784 species, of which 786 are known exclusively from larvae, 860 - from active postlarval forms and 138 - from both. The data on the type localities and the hitherto known distribution of the species are included in the survey.
