Twelve mite species of the genus Macrocheles (Acari: Macrochelidae) were collected from the body surface of dung beetles in Java, Indonesia. Of these, three species, i.e., Macrocheles jabarensis, M. jonggolensis, and M. sukabumiensis, were described as new to science. Female of M. dispar was redescribed. Two species, i.e., M. baliensis and M. sukaramiensis, were recorded from Java for the first time. The occurrence of five species previously recorded from Java, i.e., M. hallidayi, M. kraepelini, M. limue, M. oigru, and M. merdarius, were reconfirmed. Taxonomic status of M. sp. aff. glaber was not settled in the present study, because we could not obtain the male and immatures which are indispensable for exact identification. In total 15 species of the genus Macrocheles, including 3 species already recorded but not collected in this research (M. crispa, M. krantzi, and M. subbadius), are known from Java up to date.
从印度尼西亚爪哇的蜣螂体表采集到了12种巨螯螨属（蜱螨亚纲：巨螯螨科）的螨类。其中，有3个物种，即贾巴尔巨螯螨、琼戈尔巨螯螨和茂物巨螯螨，被描述为科学新物种。对歧巨螯螨的雌性进行了重新描述。首次在爪哇记录到了2个物种，即巴厘巨螯螨和苏卡拉米巨螯螨。之前在爪哇记录到的5个物种，即哈利迪巨螯螨、克雷佩林巨螯螨、利穆巨螯螨、奥格鲁巨螯螨和粪栖巨螯螨的出现情况得到了再次确认。近似光巨螯螨的分类地位在本研究中未确定，因为我们无法获得准确鉴定所必需的雄性和未成熟个体。截至目前，已知爪哇共有15种巨螯螨属物种，包括本研究中未采集到但已记录的3个物种（皱巨螯螨、克兰茨巨螯螨和亚矮巨螯螨）。
