Strong, R. Halliday] Psoroptes mites are obligate ectoparasites of mammals that cause psoroptic mange in a number of domestic and wildlife species world-wide. Correct identification of species in this genus is important for eradication and quarantine programs. However, conflicting reports about species identity and host specificity within this morphologically conservative genus have raised questions regarding the usefulness of the taxonomic characters previously used to distinguish species. Records that rely only on host species do not provide accurate identification ofPsoroptes mites at the species level. This paper reviews the information available on life history, geographic distribution, and host specificity for this genus, with special reference to problems associated with identifying species in Australia.
