description: UROPODIDAE Kramer, 1881
Species from this family occur on Passalidae rarely. Among the Uropodidae, 32 genera were distinguished, but only Uropoda orbicularis (Mueller, 1776) and Uropoda sp. (this genus contains about 265 species) were found, on three host species (Villegas-Guzmán et al. 2008; Barrios-Torres and Villegas-Guzmán 2015) (Tables 2, 4 and 9).
Overall, on the same host species, Mesostigmata were found with Pseudoscorpiones (8 times) (note: this does not mean that were on the same individual); Trombidiformes (6); Oribatida (5); Astigmata (2); Ixodida (1); Astigmata and Trombidiformes (4); Oribatida and Pseudoscorpiones (4); Oribatida and Trombidiformes (3); Pseudoscorpiones and Trombidiformes (2); Astigmata and Oribatida (2); Astigmata, Oribatida and Trombidiformes (2); Oribatida, Pseudoscorpiones and Trombidiformes (1); Astigmata, Oribatida, Pseudoscorpiones and Trombidiformes (1); and Astigmata, Diptera, Oribatida and Trombidiformes (1).
