Psylloglyphus

Psylloglyphus is a genus of mites in the family Winterschmidtiidae.

[1] Psylloglyphus can be distinguished from related genera by the prodorsal shield lacking ocelli and the spermathecal duct being long with 5-6 loops.

[1] Mites of these genus are phoretic on fleas.

[3][4] They are more common on female fleas than males and the association is quite species-specific.

[3] They have also been found in the nests of seabirds where the fleas were present.
