Three species of chigger mites are recorded in our collections from four species of cricetid rodents on Chiloé Island (southern Chile, Los Lagos Region), an area endemic to scrub typhus (Orientia sp.). Two species are described as new-Herpetacarus (Abonnencia) eloisae sp. nov. and Quadraseta chiloensis sp. nov. One species, Paratrombicula goffiStekolnikov and González-Acuña 2012, is for the first time recorded on a mammal host (one species of cricetid rodent), and its distribution is extended to the Los Lagos Region of Chile. The genus ProschoengastiaVercammen-Grandjean, 1967 is synonymized with the subgenus Herpetacarus (Abonnencia)Vercammen-Grandjean, 1960, and four new combinations are established: Herpetacarus (Abonnencia) herniosa (Brennan and Jones, 1961), comb. nov., Herpetacarus (Abonnencia) insolita (Brennan and Jones, 1961), comb. nov., Herpetacarus (Abonnencia) macrochaeta (Brennan and Jones, 1961), comb. nov., and Herpetacarus (Abonnencia) antarctica (Stekolnikov and Gonzalez-Acuña, 2015), comb. nov.
从智利洛斯湖地区（智利南部）的四种仓鼠科啮齿动物身上采集到的三种恙螨，有两种被描述为新种——Herpetacarus（Abonnencia）eloisae sp. nov. 和 Quadraseta chiloensis sp. nov. 一种名为 Paratrombicula goffiStekolnikov 和 González-Acuña 2012 的恙螨，首次在哺乳动物（一种仓鼠科啮齿动物）宿主上被记录，其分布范围也扩大到智利洛斯湖地区。ProschoengastiaVercammen-Grandjean，1967 属被归入 Herpetacarus（Abonnencia）Vercammen-Grandjean，1960 亚属，建立了四个新的组合：Herpetacarus（Abonnencia）herniosa（Brennan 和 Jones，1961），组合新种，Herpetacarus（Abonnencia）insolita（Brennan 和 Jones，1961），组合新种，Herpetacarus（Abonnencia）macrochaeta（Brennan 和 Jones，1961），组合新种，以及 Herpetacarus（Abonnencia）antarctica（Stekolnikov 和 Gonzalez-Acuña，2015），组合新种。
