Remarks
The families Acrididae , Gryllidae , Gryllotalpidae , Rhaphidophoridae , Tetrigidae ( Insecta: Orthoptera ); Dolichopodidae , Ephydridae , Hybotidae ( Insecta: Diptera ); Silphidae , Tenebrionidae ( Insecta: Coleoptera ); Machilidae ( Insecta: Microcoryphia); Monoscutidae ( Arachnida: Opiliones ) and Scolopendridae ( Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha ) were recorded as host of larval Neothrombiidae ( Felska et al. 2018; Majidi et al. 2018). In this study, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille) ( Acari : Metastigmata: Ixodidae ) is recorded as a new host for the family Neothrombiidae . The collected engorged specimen was attached to the leg tarsus I of its host and probably belongs to a new genus of Neothrombiidae . Additional samplings in order to collect more specimens are planned before a formal description will be published.
