Abstract
Although much has been written on the systematics of mites little, to date, has been published regarding their distribution. Strandtman and Wharton (1958) have given distributional data on a large area basis i.e. United States, Mexico, etc., but have given only little specific distribution. Unfortunately much of our knowledge relative to mite distribution is limited to a knowledge of type localities. In the case of parasitic mites one cannot assume that the distribution of the parasite is the same as the host. Unfortunately at this time, we do not know what factors limit the distribution of parasitic mites.
The following is a list of parasitic mites taken in Nebraska. The names of the mites are in accordance with Strandtman and Wharton (1958), the mammal names are in accordance with Miller and Kellogg (1955) and the birds in accordance with Rapp et al. (1958).
