Parasitellus (formerly Parasitus[1]) is a genus of mites in the family Parasitidae[2] which parasitize bumblebees.[1] These mites can be found clinging to the carapace, sometimes in large numbers.[3][4] Mites in this genus hibernate in the deutonymphal stage.[5] The instars of some species can actively transfer from bumblebee to bumblebee from flowers, where they can survive up to 24 hours.[3] After they arrive in a bumblebee nest, they will moult into adults.[1][5][6]
