Abstract

In the paper, we presented ptyctimous mites collected from Nearctic (Canada, USA), Neotropical (Dominicana), Palaearctic (Scotland, Italy, Russia, Nepal, Egypt), Afrotropical (Ethiopia, Gabon, Congo, Mozambique, Madagascar, Réunion), South Africa, Oriental (Maldives, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, China) and Australasian (Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand) regions. Information of Mesoplophora (Parplophora) flavida Niedbała, 1985 and M. (P.) polita Niedbała, 1985 phoretic on different insects (Coleoptera: Passalidae) are presented. A new species Atropacarus (Hoplophorella) additus Niedbała sp. nov., is described from Madagascar. Supplementary descriptions and some remarks of ten species from six genera are given (including two paratypes of previously synonymous species). Information on the distribution and location of 85 species of 18 genera is also presented. Fifty-three species were found for the first time in the zoogeographical region or given country.
