Abstract
This paper reviews the research on taxonomy and biology of the terrestrial Parasitengona (except chiggers) in China, with an updated checklist of 47 species (+9 undetermined species) belonging to 5 superfamilies, 9 families and 25 genera. Major contributions to the Chinese fauna of the terrestrial Parasitengona were made by Zhang Zhi-Qiang and his colleagues, Zheng Bo-Yi and R. Haitlinger. There have been some studies on the biology and use in biological control of the Trombidioidea and Erythraeiodea in China and these are briefly reviewed.
