Order Mesostigmata G. Canestrini, 1891 According to Lindquist, Krantz & Walter (2009), Order Mesostigmata is composed of three suborders: Sejida, Trigynaspida and Monogynaspida with 26 superfamilies and about 12000 described species. Suborder Monogynaspida Camin et Gorirossi, 1955 According to Beaulieu et al. (2011), the suborder consists of the infraorders Uropodina Kramer, 1881 and Gamasina Kramer, 1881, as well as of 15 superfamilies and 78 families. In Lindquist, Krantz & Walter (2009) the superfamilies are 18. Infraorder (or Cohort ?) Gamasina Kramer, 1881 Cohort Gamasina of Lindquist, Krantz & Walter (2009) includes 10 superfamilies. Here belong most of the Mesostigmata, both predators and parasites. Within Gamasina are delimitated 11 superfamilies and 42 families. Superfamily Dermanyssoidea remains within the Hyporder Dermanyssiae Evans et Till, 1979, with 17 families. Beaulieu et al. 1911. Superorder Parasitiformes Reuter, 1909. In: Zhang Z.-Q. (Ed.)

In this volume are considered the families Rhinonyssidae and Spinturnicidae. Acarorum Catalogus VI 9 The Mite Family Rhinonyssidae Almost all Rhinonyssidae live in the nare passages of birds. One (Sternostoma tracheacolum Lawrence) has been found in the tracheae and lungs of birds and some Ptilonyssus have been recorded as living on the bird’s body or even in the nests. N. Bregetova reviewed in 1951 the most numerous and common mites living in the respiratory system of birds – the Rhinonyssidae. By this time she was able to enumerate only 26 species in 10 genera, six of which are still valid: Rhinonyssus Trouessart, Ster- nostoma Berlese et Trouessart, Ptilonyssus Berl. et Tr., Rhinoecius Cooreman, Larinyssus Strandtmann and Rallinyssus Strandtmann. Four other generic names have been syn- onymized since (Sternostomum, Neonyssus, Ptilonyssoides and Rhinonyssoides). This scarce information was contributed mainly by Giebel (who described the first rhinonyssid in 1871), Trouessart, Berlese, Trägårdh, Hirst, Vitzthum, Castro, Cooreman, Strandtmann and Bregetova. Trouessart (1895) considered these mites as subfamily Rhinonyssinae and Vitzthum (1935) raised them in a family. However, some authors (Domrow) have longtime maintained the broader concept of Dermanyssidae and considered Rhinonyssinae as one of it’s subfamilies. Bregetova has splited these mites into two families – Rhinonyssidae and Ptilonyssidae, which was not accepted aside from few authors (Dusbábek & Černý, 1970). Speaking of the “prehistory” of the studies on Rhinonyssidae we must notice the work of Brazilian specialists Castro & Pereira (1947), Castro (1948) and Pereira & Castro (1949) describing the subfamily Ptilonyssinae and several new species. As for many other families, the “prehistory” of the research ends with the beginning of the long series of publications of Alex Fain (from 1956 to 1974). Based on his large collection, obtained in Africa, and on many mites from zoo birds, Fain (together with Aitken, Bafort, Bastin, Carpenter, Holland, Hyland, Johnson, Lukoschus, Nadchatram, Sixl, Moritsch, Vercammen-Grandjean) contributed greatly to the modern system of Rhinonys- sidae, describing many new genera, species and subdividing the family into subfamilies. In the same time active research was carried out in Australia by R. Domrow (from 1964 to 1992). Domrow synonymised many older genera (Mesonyssus Fain, Mesonyssoides Fain et Nadchatram, Psitanyssus Fain, Falconyssus Fain). Some other genera, described by Castro (1948), were made synonyms by Zumpt & Till (1955) in their important contribution to the Rhinonyssidae of Southern Africa (Flavionyssus, Rochanyssus, Paraneonyssus, Travanyssus, Vitznyssus). Also important contributions to the study of Rhinonyssidae were made by Butenko (many publications on Russian and other mites since 1961, including a book in 1984, partly with Stanjukovich and Lavrovskaya), Shumilo & Lunkashu (incl. a book in 1976), Strandtmann and co-authors (Brooks, Clifford, Furman, Wharton), Knee (2008, together with Proctor and Galloway), Pence (1972–1979, together with Casto, Young and Canaris), Bregetova (from 1950 to 1983), Hyland (1961–1970, partly with Clark, Ford and Galloway), Kadosaka, Kaneko & Asanuma (1987), Feider & Mironescu (1972–1982), Dusbábek (since 1969), Amaral (1962–1978), Spicer (since 1977), George (1961), Fur- 10 Acarorum Catalogus VI man (1957), Wilson (from 1958 to 1980), Sakakibara (1967, 1968), Crossley (1950, 1952), Grétillat (1969, 1970), Sixl (1969–1971), Sartbaev (1979) and others. Many new studies have been made in Spain by Guevara, Úbeda, Rodriguez, Rojas and other acarologists. The Studies on Rhinonyssidae Berlese & Trouessart (1889) describe the important genera Ptilonyssus and Sternostoma, containing more than half of all Rhinonyssidae Trouessart (1894) – becomes the author of another important
