Rhinoseius androdon Fain & Hyland, 1980

This mite was described from material from the hummingbird Androdon aequatorialis from Colombia, and later collected from the hummingbirds Amazilia rosenbergi (Boucard, 1895) , Phaethornis yaruqui (Bourcier, 1851) and Thalurania colombica (Bourcier, 1843) and the plant Cavendishia sp. ( Ohmer et al., 1991). Naskrecki & Colwell (1998) reported it from Cavendishia coccinea and consider the flowers of plant family Ericaceae to be typical plant hosts at higher elevations.

Material examined. Two males and 2 females from Chalybura urochrysia, Barbilla NP, September 2004, coll. I. Literak.
