Members of the family Cheyletidae
are generally free-living predators, and have a worldwide distribution. The genus Cheletonella Womersley within the family Cheyletidae comprises four species. This study presents the first record
of the Cheletonella and C. vespertilionis Womersley for the
fauna of Poland, and is based on mite specimens found in litter and detritus
samples collected from the foot of wall of a tunnel used as shelter by bats,
and found in litter and soil samples located close to the bat boxes in the city
park. Cheletonella summersi
Chatterjee and Gupta is considered here as a species inquirenda.
It is also provided an updated list of cheyletid mites recorded from Poland.
