Resumo. Reports of mites parasitizing arthropods are common worldwide. However, there hasn't been a single record of mite parasitism by any Erythraeidae species on the millipede Polyxenidae in Brazil. To address this gap, we present a record of the species Charletonia rocciai Treat & Flechtmann, 1979 (Trombidiformes: Erythraeidae), parasitizing a specimen of this millipede family in the country.
