Rock lizards of the genus are interesting research models due to their asexual reproduction. Ectoparasitic mites and ticks of these lizards are poorly known, despite some of these chelicerates being vector pathogens of humans and wildlife. Here we document and curate previously known data on ectoparasitic Acari of rock lizards and, based on our extensive survey, provide an annotated list of these ectoparasitic arthropods (six tick species, one macronyssid species, and seven chigger species). We also provide new host records ( on , , , and ; on ; on ); and new geographical records ( in Russia and Georgia).
岩蜥属的蜥蜴是有趣的研究模型，因为它们具有无性繁殖的能力。尽管这些节肢动物中的一些是人类和野生动物的病原体媒介，但这些蜥蜴的外寄生虫螨和蜱类却知之甚少。在这里，我们记录并整理了先前已知的岩蜥外寄生虫节肢动物的数据，并根据我们的广泛调查，提供了这些外寄生虫节肢动物的注释清单（六种蜱虫、一种巨须螨和七种恙螨）。我们还提供了新的宿主记录（在 、 、 、 和 ；在 ；在 ）和新的地理记录（在俄罗斯和格鲁吉亚）。
