Abstract
The number of mite species using cricetid rodents in North America is related to the host distributional areas. The age and latitude of the distributional areas have unimportant effects on the number of mite species using a rodent species. The relation between species and areas is analogous to species equilibrium numbers of island faunas.Keywords
