Hirstionyssus sunci Wang, 1962: 412. ? Hirstionyssus sinicus Teng & Pan 1962: 278. Hirstionyssus sunci — Uchikawa 1975: 89; Mašán & Fend’a 2010: 155, figs 166–171. Type locality: Entire Europe (Oudemans 1913b). Type series: Unknown. Type host: Not stated (H. apodemi is a replacement name). Host range: The principal hosts of H. apodemi are mice of the genus Apodemus Kaup, 1829; occasionally, these mites may be found on other hosts, including Microtus gregalis (Pallas, 1779), Sicista betulina (Pallas, 1779), Ellobius talpinus (Pallas, 1770), Sorex spp. and others (Zuevsky 1970). Distribution: Eastern Europe, Siberia, Russian Far East, Kazakhstan, Iran (Tenorio 1984; Nikulina 1987, 2004; Senotrusova 1987; Goncharova et al. 1991). It has been recorded in different regions of Southern Siberia, from the southwestern part of Western Siberia (Davydova & Nikol’sky 1986) eastward to Transbaikalia (Goncharova et al. 1991). Notes: Uchikawa (1975) synonymised H. apodemi with H. sunci Wang, 1962, described from China. As Tenorio (1984: 278) noted, this was made “with apparently no type comparison”. Russian authors still prefer to use the name H. apodemi (see Nikulina 2004; Korallo 2009). Whether the two species are the same or not is unclear (but see Mašán & Fend’a 2010). Mašán & Fend’a (2010) list two more European species of Hirstionyssus (H. oryctolagi Evans & Till, 1966 and H. molinae Fain & Rack, 1990) in the synonymy of H. sunci (= H. apodemi)., Published as part of Vinarski, Maxim V. & Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P., 2020, An annotated catalogue of the gamasid mites associated with small mammals in Asiatic Russia.

Type locality: Georgia, Kazbeghi District, vicinities of the villages of Kobi, Suatisi. Type series: ZIN and the Department of Zoology of the North-Ossetian Pedagogical Institute (Vladikavkaz, Russia). Type host: Chionomys gud (Satunin, 1909), the Gudaur vole. Host range: H. gudauricus infests hosts belonging to varied vole genera (Alticola, Chionomys, Clethrionomys, Microtus); sometimes is collected from shrews (Razumova 1957; Senotrusova 1987; Mašán & Fend’a 2010). It seems that no species can be considered as the chief host of this generalist parasite. Distribution: Northern and Central Europe, Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Western and Eastern Siberia (Senotrusova, 1987; Nikulina 2004; Huhta 2016); mostly in high mountain regions (Senotrusova 1987).

Type locality: No exact locality was reported. Zemskaya (1955) mentioned H. eversmanni from the Volgograd Region of Russia and the Kustanay Region of Kazakhstan. The probable syntypes (ZIN) were collected in the latter area. Type series: Unknown (possibly in EMAMS). Probable syntypes—ZIN (collection numbers 6566–6568). Type host: Allocricetulus eversmanni (Brandt, 1859), the Eversmann’s hamster. Host range: Most often found on hamsters (the genera Cricetus, Allocricetulus), in Kazakhstan it parasitises some species of the genus Lagurus (steppe lemmings) [Senotrusova 1987; Nikulina 2004]. H. eversmanni may occasionally be associated with other rodents (voles, mice, ground squirrels). Distribution: Southern part of Eastern Europe, south of Asiatic Russia; eastern Kazakhstan (Zemskaya 1973; Senotrusova 1987; Nikulina 2004). In Asiatic Russia, H. eversmanni inhabits some areas of southwest Siberia and southern parts of Primorye, Russian Far East (Davydova & Nikol’skiy 1986; Nikulina 2004)., Published as part of Vinarski, Maxim V. & Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P., 2020, An annotated catalogue of the gamasid mites associated with small mammals in Asiatic Russia.

Hirstionyssus soricis— Zemskaya 1955: 360, figs 782–784; Mašán & Fend’a 2010: 151, figs 160–165. Type locality: No exact type locality is reported. Bregetova (1956) cited findings of this species from Estonia, some regions of European Russia, as well as from western Kazakhstan. Type series: Unknown (not found in ZIN). Type hosts: Sorex araneus Linnaeus, 1758 and Neomys fodiens Pennant, 1771. Host range: Though H. eusoricis is usually regarded as a specific parasite of shrews and other soricimorph mammals (Zemskaya 1973; Senotrusova 1987), the findings of this mite from different species of rodents and even from bird nests are known (Nikulina 2004; Mašán & Fend’a 2010). Anyway, the insectivores remain the principal hosts for this parasite. Distribution: Northern Eurasia; widespread in Asiatic Russia, where occurs in both Siberia and the Russian Far East (Davydova & Nikol’sky 1986; Nikulina 1987, 2004; Goncharova et al. 1991). Notes: Tenorio (1984) supposed that H. eusoricis may be a synonym of H. soricis (Turk, 1945). This synonymy has been accepted by Mašán & Fend’a (2010) but not followed by Russian authors (Nikulina 1987, 2004; Goncharova et al. 1991; Korallo 2009)., Published as part of Vinarski, Maxim V. & Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P., 2020, An annotated catalogue of the gamasid mites associated with small mammals in Asiatic Russia.

Family Hirstionyssidae Till & Evans, 1966 Hirstionyssinae Till & Evans, 1966: 276. Type genus: Hirstionyssus Fonseca, 1948. The family is of almost worldwide distribution. It includes 5–6 genera (Tenorio & Radovsky 1985; Hallan, 2003), of which the largest and most widely distributed is Hirstionyssus. The ecological characteristics of this family is given above (see Introduction). This taxon is often considered as a subfamily of the Laelapidae sensu lato (see, for example, Lindquist et al. 2009; Beaulieu et al. 2011)., Published as part of Vinarski, Maxim V. & Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P., 2020, An annotated catalogue of the gamasid mites associated with small mammals in Asiatic Russia.

Type host: Mus musculus (Linnaeus, 1758), albino morph (the white mouse) Host range: H. butantanensis prefers murine rodents of the genera Mus and Rattus (Mašán & Fend’a 2010). Distribution: Virtually cosmopolitan; the tight association of H. butantanensis with synanthropic rodents possibly explains its finding from areas far remoted from the type locality, e.g. in New Zealand (Tenquist & Charleston 2001). In Asiatic Russia, the species has been known (as H. latiscutatus) from Western Siberia and the southern parts of Eastern Siberia (Davydova & Nikol’sky 1986; Nikulina 2004). Notes: In Russian parasitological and acarological literature the name H. butantanensis is not in common use; most authors have used the name H. latiscutatus (see, for example, Zuevsky 1970; Nikulina 2004). The identity of Schrank’s (1803) mite species Acarus musculi (type host—the house mouse) is enigmatic due to the brevity of its original description and loss of the type series. Some authors (e.g. Baker & Wharton 1952) assigned this species to the genus Steatonyssus Kolenati, 1858. However, Steatonyssus mites are obligatory parasites of bats, and the finding of a member of this genus on the skin of a house mouse is very unlikely (Till & Evans 1964)., Published as part of Vinarski, Maxim V. & Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P., 2020, An annotated catalogue of the gamasid mites associated with small mammals in Asiatic Russia.

Type series: Unknown (possibly in EMAMS). ZIN collection has two specimens (females; accession numbers 6410 and 6411) of H. pavlovskyi collected and identified by Zemskaya in 1957. The sampling site and host (Eutamias sibiricus) coincide with data provided in the original description (Zemskaya 1959). These two females may originate from the type series of H. pavlovskyi. Type hosts: Eutamias sibiricus (Laxmann, 1769), the Siberian chipmunk, and Pteromys volans (Linnaeus, 1758). Host range: Goncharova et al. (1991) consider Eutamias sibiricus as the principal and virtually exclusive mammal host of this mite. However, according to other authors, various species of voles (Clethrionomys, Microtus), mice, shrews, squirrels and other Micromammalia may serve as the auxiliary hosts for H. pavlovskyi (Yudin et al. 1976; Nikulina 2004). Distribution: H. pavlovskyi is endemic to Asiatic Russia. It is distributed in Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East, including the extreme northeast of Asia (Yudin et al. 1976; Goncharova et al. 1991; Nikulina 2004).

Zemskaya (1955) mentioned H. talpae from the Moscow Region of Russia and the Transcarpathian Region of Ukraine. Type series: Unknown (possibly in EMAMS). Type host: Talpa europaea Linnaeus, 1758, the European mole. Host range: In Eurasia, the principal hosts of this mite are moles of the genus Talpa — T. europaea and T. altaica Nikol’sky, 1883 (Zemskaya 1973; Senotrusova 1987). It is very numerous in mole nests (Evans & Till 1966). In North America, the hosts of this species are the star-nosed mole [Condylura cristata (Linnaeus, 1758)] and many species of shrews belonging to different genera (Blarina Gray, 1838, Cryptotis Pomel, 1848, Sorex Linnaeus, 1758) [Whittaker et al. 2007]. In New Zealand, H. talpae has been recorded from the introduced Erinaeus europaeus (Linnaeus, 1758), the European hedgehog (Tenquist & Charleston 2001). Occasional findings of this parasite on different rodent hosts are known (Nikulina 2004; Mašán & Fend’a 2010). Distribution: The range of H. talpae is very wide. This mite is known from the Holarctic as well as from very distant regions such as New Zealand (Herrin 1970; Tenorio 1984; Tenquist & Charleston 2001; Whitaker et al. 2007). In Asiatic Russia, the species has been recorded from Western and Eastern Siberia (Nikulina 2004); its occurrence in the Russian Far East is also probable., Published as part of Vinarski, Maxim V. & Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P., 2020, An annotated catalogue of the gamasid mites associated with small mammals in Asiatic Russia.

Genus Hirstionyssus Fonseca, 1948 Hirstionyssus Fonseca, 1948: 266. Dermanyssus Dugès, 1834: 18 (partim). Liponyssus Kolenati, 1859: 172 (partim). Echinonyssus Hirst, 1925: 51 sensu Tenorio & Radovsky, 1979. Sciurinyssus Koyumdzhieva, 1978: 49. Type species: Dermanyssus arcuatus C.L. Koch, 1839 = Liponyssus arcuatus (C.L. Koch) sensu Oudemans, 1913 (see remarks below) General morphological diagnosis: see Evans & Till (1966: 277), Mašán & Fend’a (2010: 71). Notes: Some authors, following Tenorio & Radovsky (1979) and Tenorio (1984), accept Hirstionyssus as a junior synonym of Echinonyssus Hirst, 1925. On the other hand, Mašán & Fend’a (2010) consider Echinonyssus as a monotypic genus restricted to the type species Echinonyssus nasutus Hirst, 1925. This point of view corresponds to that of Russian acarologists (Bregetova 1956; Zemskaya 1973; Goncharova et al. 1991) and is followed here. The genus has been recorded from all continents and comprises more than 115 species (Tenorio 1984). The ex- USSR acarofauna includes approximately 30 species of Hirstionyssus (Bregetova 1977), nearly 20 of which have been recorded from the Asiatic Russia territory. The identity of the type species of the genus Hirstionyssus, Dermanyssus arcuatus C.L. Koch, 1839 sensu Oudemans, 1913, has been debated in the literature. Most authors agree that it is a doubtful taxon, and its taxonomic treatment was different in the works of different acarologists. Though Evans & Till (1966) and Tenorio (1984) viewed D. arcuatus as identical with Hirstionyssus talpae Zemskaya, 1955, it was re-named by Zuevsky (1970) as Hirstionyssus apodemi. A very wide spectrum of hosts of Dermanyssus arcuatus C.L. Koch sensu Oudemans, 1913, ranging from bats to carnivores (Oudemans, 1913a, b), indicates that a mixture of several species might have been united under this taxonomic name., Published as part of Vinarski, Maxim V. & Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P., 2020, An annotated catalogue of the gamasid mites associated with small mammals in Asiatic Russia.

Type host: Oudemans (1913a) indicated Arvicola terrestris, Mus musculus, Talpa europaea, and Mustela erminea as the hosts of the mite individuals, which were used by him to establish a new species. Host range: H. isabellinus is found on a very broad circle of mammal hosts, and neither can be designated as the principal host for this mite. H. isabellinus was found on many species of voles (of different genera), mice, shrews, pikas, rats, ground squirrels etc. (Herrin 1970; Yudin et al. 1976; Senotrusova 1987; Goncharova et al. 1991; Whitaker et al. 2007; Korallo 2009; Krasnov et al. 2010; Mašán & Fend’a 2010). It was found also in birds’ nests (Mašán & Fend’a 2010). Distribution: Eurasia and North America (Allred & Beck 1966; Herrin 1970; Whitaker et al. 2007). In Asiatic Russia H. isabellinus occurs in all regions, including the extreme North (Yudin et al. 1976; Davydova & Nikol’sky 1986; Nikulina 2004)., Published as part of Vinarski, Maxim V. & Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P., 2020, An annotated catalogue of the gamasid mites associated with small mammals in Asiatic Russia.

Hirstionyssus transiliensis — Goncharova et al. 1991: 74. Type locality: Kazakhstan, Zailiyskiy Alatau Ridge, Kamenskoye Gorge. Type series: Syntypes are kept in ZIN (accession numbers 7905–7918). Type hosts: Clethrionomys frater (Thomas, 1908) and Microtus gregalis. Host range: The principal hosts of this species are voles belonging to various genera— Arvicola, Clethrionomys, Microtus (Senotrusova 1987; Nikulina 2004). In the Transbaikalian region, H. transiliensis was collected exclusively from the narrow-headed vole (M. gregalis) [Goncharova et al. 1991]. In different areas of Asiatic Russia, the mite was occasionally sampled from other small mammals, including shrews, mice, muskrats, hamsters etc. (Nikulina 2004). Distribution: Northern and Central Asia, the Near East. The species inhabits Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, Inner Mongolia, Pakistan (Daniel 1977; Tenorio 1984; Senotrusova 1987; Halliday et al. 2018). In Asiatic Russia, H. transiliensis occurs in Siberia except of the northern latitudes; a single recording from the South Urals is known (Davydova & Nikol’sky 1986; Goncharova et al. 1991; Nikulina 2004).

Type locality: No exact locality was reported. Zemskaya (1955) mentioned H. eversmanni from the Volgograd Region of Russia and from Turkmenistan. Type series: Unknown (possibly in EMAMS). Type host: Two species of gerbils— Rhombomys opimus (Lichtenstein, 1823) and Meriones meridianus (Pallas, 1773). Host range: This mite is considered a specific parasite of gerbils of the genera Meriones and Rhombomys (Bretetova 1956; Zemskaya 1973). Distribution: The species is widely distributed in the Middle East and Central Asia (Tenorio 1984); the northwestern part of its range lies in the south of European Russia (Bregetova 1956). It is recorded from the Central Asian republics of the former USSR as well as from Armenia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northwestern China—Xinjang are known (Bregetova 1956; Oganjanyan 1962; Zemskaya et al. 1975; Daniel 1977; Senotrusova 1987; Ye et al. 2000; Halliday et al. 2018). The presence of H. meridianus in the fauna of Asiatic Russia needs a confirmation. We include it in our check-list on the basis of a single record from Western Siberia (without exact locality) in the catalogue of SZM collection (see http://szmn.eco.nsc.ru/Inverteb/ Gamasina.htm). In addition, there is a single (and rather doubtful) record of this mite from the South Urals, the area adjacent to Western Siberia (Litvinova & Zavodova 1969).

Type host: Ochotona roylei (Ogilby, 1839) the Indian pika. Host range: A characteristic parasite of rodents of the genus Ochotona (pikas). In south Kazakhstan was found to parasitise the silver mountain mole, Alticola argentatus (Severtzov, 1879) [Senotrusova 1987]. Distribution: The species was reported from pikas collected in the former Central Asian region of the USSR (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan), Iran and in China (Shanxi, Tibet) [Senotrusova & Kapitonov 1974; Zemskaya et al. 1981; Tenorio 1984; Senotrusova 1987; Huang 1990].

Type locality. England (without exact locality). Type specimens. Types of the species described by Michael (1892) are in the Natural History Museum, London (fide Lundquist & Edler, 1979). Type host. The common mole, Talpa europaea (L., 1758), in its nests. Host range. Haemogamasus horridus is able to parasitise a wide range of rodents and insectivores (Zemskaya, 1973; Haitlinger, 1988), and no particular species of mammals can be regarded as its principal host. Distribution. This species has been collected from Europe, the Near East, Kyrgyzstan, and South America (Evans & Till, 1966; Zemskaya, 1973; Casanueva et al., 1994; Cicek et al., 2008), though it is apparently absent in North America (Williams et al., 1978; Whitaker et al., 2007). The data on its presence in Asiatic Russia are very scant. Zemskaya (1973) mentioned it from Tomsk Region (Western Siberia), and this remains the only published record of Hg. horridus from Asiatic Russia. Also, this species is mentioned in the electronic catalogue of the collection of the Siberian Zoological Museum (Novosibirsk, Russia) as living in Western Siberia (http:// szmn.sbras.ru/Inverteb/ Gamasina.htm).
