Abstract

Denegri (1993) reviewed worldwide instances of oribatid mites as an intermediate host of Anoplocephalid cestodes (tapeworm). In Japan, only four records of cysticercoids in oribatid mites have been reported, although many investigations have been made on grazing lands. The oribatid species as an intermediate host previously reported from Japan are Eporibatula sakamorii, Scheloribates laevigatus, Mixacarus exilis and one unidentified species. The distribution of intermediate species is discussed according to the systematic scheme of suborder Oribatida.
