Macrocheles muscaedomesticae is a species of mite in the family Macrochelidae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution.[1]
This mite species feeds on flies in their egg, larval and (possibly) adult stages, and also attaches to adult flies for dispersal (phoresis).[2][3] Its hosts include houseflies (Musca domestica), drosophilid flies (Drosophila hydei)[2] and stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans).[3]
