- Abstract
This article discusses the first recorded instance of a phoretic association between Pediculaster sp. mites and Musca crassirostris flies in India. The mites attach to the flies for transportation and were found on muscid flies on a bird corpse in Himachal Pradesh, India. The study explores the phoretic relationships between mites and flies in India, including different species of mites and flies. It also suggests the need for further research on mite species and their habitat preferences, as well as their potential use in forensic analysis. References for further reading are provided.
