Mites of this cosmopolitan genus are ecological opportunists associated with a wide range of species hosts (insects, reptiles, birds, rodents) as well as with their nests. Not all Androlaelaps mites are considered as closely associated with small mammals. For example, A. karawajewi Berlese, 1903 recorded from Western Siberia is a myrmecophilous mite inhabiting ant nests (Davydova, 1977). It was excluded from the check-list below.
