Water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidiae) were collected from males of frog-biting midges (Corethrellidae) in Gamboa, Panama. All Corethrella squamifemora males collected were parasitized with water mites. The mites were attached to the soft tissues of the thoracic region of the midges. No mites were found on female frog-biting midges of the same species....

In this paper we review the species of Ixodes that parasitize wild birds in Panama, based on specimens collected from wild birds in Volcán Barú National Park (from November 2014 to May 2015), examinations of museum specimens, and published data. We report presence of Ixodes auritulus parasitizing Turdus plebejus and Odontophorus guttatus, and Ixode...
The oribatid mite subgenus Scheloribates (Topobates) Grandjean, 1958, is recorded from the Neotropical region for the first time. A new species of this subgenus is described from the leaf litter collect ed in Cayo Agua Island, Panama. Scheloribates (Topobates) panamaensis sp. nov. differs from its related species by the very large body size and pre...
We documented the existence of a population of the southern Caribbean pontarachnid mite
Litarachna caribica
for the first time on the Pacific coast of Panama. Based on morphological observations, this is the first record of a pontarachnid mite with a trans-isthmian distribution, which can be explained by either modern biological dispersal or histor...
RESUMEN Se describe a Longior panamensis sp. nov. (Oxyurida: Hystrignathidae), parásito de un pasálido de Panamá.
