Treatment

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

Distribution and hosts. Leptotrombidium turdicola is known from Turdus obscurus Gmelin ( Passeriformes : Turdidae ) in Malaysia ( Vercammen-Grandjean & Langston 1976) and from Apodemus agrarius ( Rodentia : Muridae ) in China ( Stekolnikov 2013). We found L. turdicola in Vietnam for the first time. Pellorneum ruficeps is a new host for this chigger.
