Leptotrombidium paradux Vercammen-Grandjean and Langston, 1976

Material examined. Location A: 1 larva from Pellorneum ruficeps ( Passeriformes : Pellorneidae ), 4 February 2010.

Distribution and hosts. L. paradux is reported to parasitize small rodents of the family Muridae (Rodentia) in India ( Stan Fernandes & Kulkarni 2003) and in Russian Caucasus (Krasnodar Krai, Adygea, Karachai- Cherkessia, North Ossetia, Dagestan) ( Stekolnikov 2004, 2013). We found L. paradux in Vietnam for the first time. Pellorneum ruficeps is a new host for this chigger.
