This paper presents a checklist of the mites of the family Spintumicidae set on the basis of the whole Polish literature review. The checklist is supplemented with new data about bat hosts and localities in Poland.
Spinturnix helvetiae DEUNFF, KELLER, AELLEN, 1986 (Acari: Mesostigmata: Spinturnicidae) is ascertained in the Polish fauna for the first time. The checklist of Spinturnicidae mites observed on bats of Poland is supplemented with the newly discovered species and it contains now 8 species of mites (including one with two subspecies). A number of new morphological features differentiating Spinturnix helvetiae infesting Nyctalus leisleri from closely related Spinturnix acuminatus (KOCH, 1836) infesting Nyctalus noctula are described.
