Speleognathinae
Speleognathinae is a subfamily of mites in the family Ereynetidae comprising endoparasites of the respiratory tracts of birds. These mites inhabit the nasal cavities and associated passages of avian hosts across multiple continents. At least 37 species in 15 genera have been documented from the Afrotropical region alone. The subfamily is distinguished from related nasal mite taxa by morphological features used in taxonomic keys.
