Macrochelid mites have been reported in several papers about mites of different habitats in Brazil, but this is the first work specifically conducted to determine the macrochelids from that country. The main goal was to determine macrochelid species in microhabitats where the stable fly is usually found in commercial cattle farms. In total, 1359 specimens were collected from cow manure and litter in different regions of São Paulo state. These represented ten species of three genera. One of these, Macrocheles embersoni n. sp. is here described as new to science. Other macrochelid species are expected to be found in the study area, when other types of microhabitats are explored.
在几篇关于巴西不同栖息地螨虫的论文中都报道过巨螯螨，但这是首次专门为确定该国的巨螯螨而开展的研究。主要目标是确定商业养牛场中通常能发现厩螫蝇的微栖息地中的巨螯螨种类。总共从圣保罗州不同地区的牛粪和垫料中采集了1359个标本。这些标本代表了三个属的十个物种。其中一种，即恩伯森巨螯螨（Macrocheles embersoni n. sp.）在此被描述为科学上新发现的物种。当探索其他类型的微栖息地时，预计在研究区域还会发现其他巨螯螨物种。
