Type locality. Italy (Florenсе and Padova). Type specimens. Italy, Florence, Istituto Sperimentale per la Zoologia Agraria (fide Domrow, 1988). Type host. Not stated; Berlese (1903a) described this species as not associated with any mammal host. Host range. The association of Hg . pontiger with small mammals is, perhaps, the least pronounced within the genus. It may live freely and be found in stored products, hay and other farm habitats (Keegan, 1951; Evans & Till, 1966; Goncharova et al ., 1991). It is frequently found in nests and burrows of various small mammals, including those inhabiting food stores (common rat, house mouse). Distribution. A cosmopolitan mite. Its range covers all continents, including some Antarctic islands, where it was introduced by humans (Womersley, 1937; Rounsevell, 1978). It was recorded from almost all large physicalgeographical regions of Asiatic Russia, including Kamchatka Peninsula and Sakhalin Island (Nikulina, 2004). : Published as part of Vinarski, Maxim V. & Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P., 2017, An annotated catalogue of the gamasid mites associated with small mammals in Asiatic Russia.
