Tur megistoproctus, a new species of Laelapinae, is described from the pelage of the echimyid rodent Proechimys dimidiatus from the Atlantic forests of Ilha Grande, south of Rio de Janeiro. Measurements and illustrations are included for females and males. Another laelapine mite species, Tur turki Fonseca, co-occurred with T. megistoproctus in our studies and was recorded from the same host individuals and localities. These 2 laelapine mite species appear to be exclusively associated with a complex of echimyid rodent species (subgenus Trinomys) in the Atlantic forests of southeastern Brazil.
巨肛厉螨（Tur megistoproctus），厉螨亚科的一个新物种，是从里约热内卢南部大岛大西洋森林中的栉鼠属啮齿动物半纹原鼠（Proechimys dimidiatus）的体表描述而来。文中给出了雌性和雄性的测量数据及图示。在我们的研究中，另一种厉螨属螨类物种——图氏厉螨（Tur turki Fonseca）与巨肛厉螨共同出现，且在相同的宿主个体和地点被记录到。这两种厉螨属螨类物种似乎仅与巴西东南部大西洋森林中的一组栉鼠属啮齿动物物种（Trinomys亚属）相关联。
