Hutson, A.M. 1984 (RES Hippoboscid Handbook) mentions three genera of mites that occur on Ornithomya - Myialges, Microlichus and Strelkovicarus. I suspect these are [i[Myialges[/i], but I would need to see some specimens to be sure.

Fauna Europaea shows that several species of Myialges occur in European Russia, and Myialges anchora is also recorded from Germany.
