Four new species of feather mites are described from the Icelandic rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta islandorum (Faber) in Iceland. These are Metamicrolichus islandicus n. sp., Myialges borealis n. sp. (Epidermoptidae), Strelkoviacarus holoaspis n. sp. (Analgidae) and Tetraolichus lagopi n. sp. (Pterolichidae). This is the first report on feather mites associated with the Icelandic rock ptarmigan. Brief comments on the systematics and biology of corresponding feather mite genera are given. For two species, originally described in Pterolichus Robin, 1868 (Pterolichidae), new combinations are proposed, i.e. Tetraolichus gaudi (Cerný, 1971) n. comb. and T. microdiscus (Trouessart, 1887) n. comb.
本文描述了来自冰岛岩雷鸟（Lagopus muta islandorum (Faber)）的四种新羽螨。它们分别是冰岛微羽螨（Metamicrolichus islandicus n. sp.）、北方肌羽螨（Myialges borealis n. sp.，皮刺螨科）、全盾斯特雷尔科维螨（Strelkoviacarus holoaspis n. sp.，臀刺螨科）和雷鸟翼羽螨（Tetraolichus lagopi n. sp.，翼羽螨科）。这是关于与冰岛岩雷鸟相关羽螨的首次报道。文中还对相应羽螨属的分类学和生物学作了简要评论。对于最初在1868年被描述于翼羽螨属（Pterolichus Robin）（翼羽螨科）中的两个物种，提出了新的组合，即高迪雷鸟翼羽螨（Tetraolichus gaudi (Cerný, 1971) n. comb.）和微盘雷鸟翼羽螨（T. microdiscus (Trouessart, 1887) n. comb.）。
