    • Abstract:
      As a result of our investigation in Lengguru, Kaimana, West Papua, Indonesia, six species belonging to two genera of macrochelid mites (Acari: Mesostigmata: Macrochelidae) were collected from the body surface of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae). Of these, one is undescribed species Macrocheles kaimanaensis sp. nov. Macrocheles hallidayi Walter & Krantz, 1986 is newly recorded from Papua and West Papua (Indonesian parts of New Guinea Island). Males of Holostaspella rosichoni Hartini & Takaku, 2006 originally described from Papua were recorded for the first time. The other three species were M. amaliae Hartini, 2008, M. dispar (Berlese, 1910) and M. waigeoensis Hartini, 2008, which were previously collected from Raja Ampat, West Papua. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
