Examination of 536 female mesostigmatid mites of 177 samples collected from Bandicota bengalensis in Rangoon, Burma revealed 6 species present Laelaps echidnina, L. nuttalli, L. myonyssognathus, Laelaps sp. A and B of Allred, 1970, and Liponyssoides muris, all of which were elsewhere reported from Rattus spp. in Rangoon.
