Two new ectoparasitic mite species of the families Myobiidae (Prostigmata) and Myocoptidae (Astigmata) are described from Poland: Acanthophthirius (Acanthophthirius) longisetosus sp. nov. from Vespertilio murinus Linnaeus, 1758 (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) and Trichoecius blaszaki sp. nov. from Apodemus flavicollis (Melchior, 1834) (Rodentia: Muridae).
The European species of the genus Myobia are revised: Myobia murismusculi, M. multivaga, M. agraria, M. annae and M. micromydis. A new diagnosis of the subgenus Myobia, descriptions of the European species, keys to females, males and tritonymphs are provided. The host association and distribution of the myobiid species examined is discussed.
A new species of the poorly known feather mite genus Anhemialges Gaud, 1958 is described from the Common Chiffchaff Phylloscopus collybita. Anhemialges bakeri sp. nov. differs from all other species of the genus by the shape of setae w and s on tarsi III, which are hair-like and slightly thickened in basal and median parts. In all other described species of Anhemialges, setae w and s on tarsi III are blade-like or shaped as thick spines. The lack of leg III hypertrophy is discussed and interpreted as characteristic feature of the species rather than male homeomorphy. Remarks about the recent and possible species richness of the genus Anhemialges are given.
