The family Suidasiidae Hughes (Acari: Sarcoptiformes: Acaroidea) comprises a small but ecologically diverse group of mites. The genus is currently monotypic, containing only the species Ranganath & ChannaBasavanna. Although this genus exhibits a wide geographic distribution, ontogenetic research into it remains scarce. This study describes a new species, sp. nov., found in domestic poultry in the Netherlands and comprehensively presents the morphological changes across all known life stages, including the adult female, male, tritonymph, protonymph, larva, and egg stages. By documenting the developmental changes and setal patterns throughout ontogeny, this study addresses a significant gap in the understanding of suidasiid mite development.
苏伊达斯螨科（Hughes）（蜱螨亚纲：疥螨目：粉螨总科）包含一小群但生态多样的螨类。该属目前为单型属，仅包含兰加纳特氏苏伊达斯螨（Ranganath & ChannaBasavanna）这一物种。尽管该属具有广泛的地理分布，但对其个体发育的研究仍然很少。本研究描述了在荷兰家禽中发现的一个新物种——新种苏伊达斯螨（Suidasiidae sp. nov.），并全面呈现了所有已知生命阶段的形态变化，包括成年雌性、雄性、第三若螨、第一若螨、幼虫和卵阶段。通过记录整个个体发育过程中的发育变化和刚毛模式，本研究填补了对苏伊达斯螨发育理解上的重大空白。
