Abstrakt: Rock lizards of the genus Darevskia are interesting research models due to their asexual reproduction. Ectoparasitic mites and ticks of these lizards are poorly known, despite some of these chelicerates being vector pathogens of humans and wildlife. Here we document and curate previously known data on ectoparasitic Acari of rock lizards and, based on our extensive survey, provide an annotated list of these ectoparasitic arthropods (six tick species, one macronyssid species, and seven chigger species). We also provide new host records ( Ixodes ricinus on Darevskia caucasica , D. dryada , D. mixta , and D. szczerbaki ; Haemaphysalis sulcata on D. rudis ; Odontacarus saxicolis on D. brauneri ); and new geographical records ( O. saxicolis in Russia and Georgia).
