P. fuscus
Pandionacarus fuscus is a species of mite in the family Avenzoariidae, order Sarcoptiformes. The genus name indicates an association with the osprey genus Pandion, suggesting this mite may be an ectoparasite or commensal of ospreys. Very little published information exists on the biology or ecology of this species. The species was described by Nitzsch in 1818, indicating it has been recognized in scientific literature for over two centuries.
