Host-parasite associations and distribution of mites of the family CHEYLETIDAE Leach, 1815

Geographical references: The European Region does not include Turkey, which is considered here under the Asiatic Region. In the Australian Region, Oceania does not include Eastern Timor and the Indonesian islands, which are considered under the Asiatic Region. The South American Region includes Central America and islands of the Caribbean Sea.

A few records containing in our opinion doubtfully determined mite species are not included.

Bird systematic follows Clements et al. 2014.

Type host species is the first; – same mite species
