Parasitengone
Guides
Hexathrombium
Hexathrombium is a genus of parasitic mites in the family Microtrombidiidae. These mites have been documented as ectoparasites of beetles, specifically recorded from the carabid beetle Ceroglossus buqueti. The genus was established by Cooreman in 1944. As microtrombidiid mites, they likely belong to the parasitic life stage known as the parasitengone life cycle, though specific details for this genus remain limited.
Neotrombidium beeri
Neotrombidium beeri is a species of velvet mite in the family Microtrombidiidae. Its larvae have been documented as subelytral parasites of false mealworm beetles in Arkansas. Like other members of Parasitengona, this species exhibits a complex life history involving parasitic larval stages and predatory adults. The species represents part of the poorly understood diversity of terrestrial parasitengone mites in North America.
