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).
