In the material of astigmatic and prostigmatic mites, collected in the Toro Game Reserve, Uganda at the peak of the drought period, the following nine mite species of the families Myobiidae, Atopomelidae and Listrophoridae were identified: Myobia (Angomyobia) machadoi Fain, 1972, Radfordia (Radfordia) praomys trifurcata Fain, 1973, Radfordia (Lophuromyobia) brevipilis Fain, 1972, Crocidurobia (Crocidurobia) toroensis sp. n., Listrophoroides (Olistrophoroides) lemniscomys Radford, 1940, Listrophoroides (Olistrophoroides) africanus Radford, 1944, Listrophoroides (Afrolistrophoroides) mastomys Radford, 1940, Listrophoroides (Afrolistrophoroides) teinophallus Fain, 1970 and Afrolistrophorus lophuromys (Radford, 1940). A description and illustration are presented of the female and male of the new species Crocidurobia (Crocidurobia) toroensis, and the special position of the rodent Pelomys minor Cabr. et Ruxton among the hosts of ectoparasites in the region studied is discussed.
