Slovakia

Hutson, A.M. 1984 (RES Hippoboscid Handbook) mentions three genera of mites that occur on
Ornithomya -
Myialges,
Microlichus and
Strelkovicarus. I suspect these are [i[Myialges[/i], but I would need to see some specimens to be sure.

Many thanks - I have samples in ethanol - please is this Myialges known from Slovakia? or Middle Europa?

Fauna Europaea shows that several species of
Myialges occur in European Russia, and
Myialges anchora is also recorded from Germany.
