Insight into fossil fauna of terrestrial Parasitengona mites (Trombidiformes: Prostigmata) - The first representatives of Erythraeina Welbourn, 1991 and Trombidiina Welbourn, 1991 in Burmese amber

Three new genera and four new species representing Erythraeidae (Burerythrites pankowskii gen. et sp. nov., Burphanolophus joergwunderlichi gen. et sp. nov.), Smarididae (Burfessonia maryae gen. et sp. nov.) and Trombellidae (Nothrotrombidium myanmarum sp. nov.) (Arachnida: Trombidiformes, Parasitengona) are described from the Upper Cretaceous (Albian) Burmese amber. Other erythraeoid and trombidioid mites, not identified to the species level, including larvae attached to nematoceran flies, were discovered in the same fossiliferous deposits from Myanmar. These are the first Cretaceous records of named species of Smarididae and Trombellidae and of unnamed Microtrombidiidae.
