Chiggers of the genus Parasecia Loomis parasitize birds, mammals, and reptiles in the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. In the present review, we examined 18 species previously included in the genus, 15 of them being retained in the genus Parasecia, one genus is created, Nahuacarus bulbocalcarn. gen. (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidae), and new combinations are proposed for two species: Lorillatum lasiurusn. comb. and Lorillatum orphanan. comb. (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidae). In addition, Parasecia kansasensis (Loomis) (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidae) is synonymized with Parasecia gurneyi (Ewing) (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidae), Parasecia gilbetoin. sp. (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidae) is described and new locality and host records are added for Parasecia chara (Wharton), Parasecia longicalcar (Brennan and Jones), Parasecia manueli (Brennan and Jones), and Parasecia thalurania (Brennan) (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidae).
恙螨科 Parasecia 属的恙螨寄生于北温带和新热带地区的鸟类、哺乳动物和爬行动物。在本综述中，我们检查了以前归入该属的 18 个种，其中 15 个种保留在 Parasecia 属中，创建了一个新属，Nahuacarus bulbocalcarn. gen.（Trombidiformes：Trombiculidae），并为两个种提出了新的组合：Lorillatum lasiurusn. comb. 和 Lorillatum orphanan. comb.（Trombidiformes：Trombiculidae）。此外，将 Parasecia kansasensis（Loomis）（Trombidiformes：Trombiculidae）同义化为 Parasecia gurneyi（Ewing）（Trombidiformes：Trombiculidae），描述了 Parasecia gilbetoin. sp.（Trombidiformes：Trombiculidae），并为 Parasecia chara（Wharton）、Parasecia longicalcar（Brennan and Jones）、Parasecia manueli（Brennan and Jones）和 Parasecia thalurania（Brennan）（Trombidiformes：Trombiculidae）添加了新的栖息地和宿主记录。
