Burying beetles (Silphidae, ) are hosts to a broad diversity of mites (Acari), including several species of Latreille, 1829 (Mesostigmata, Macrochelidae). The macrochelid fauna associated with silphids primarily in North America was surveyed; in total, 1659 macrochelids representing seven species were collected from 112 beetles representing nine host species. Three new species of were discovered during the survey and described as , , and The barcode region of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) was amplified from the three new described species, as well as and , and analysed in a small phylogeny.
埋葬虫(埋葬虫科)是多种螨类(蜱螨亚纲)的宿主,包括1829年拉特雷耶描述的几种(中气门目,巨螯螨科)。对主要分布在北美的与埋葬虫相关的巨螯螨动物群进行了调查;总共从代表9种宿主物种的112只埋葬虫中采集到了代表7个物种的1659只巨螯螨。调查过程中发现了3个新的巨螯螨物种,并将其描述为、和。从这3个新描述的物种以及和中扩增出细胞色素氧化酶亚基I(COI)的条形码区域,并在一个小型系统发育树中进行了分析。
