Gigantolaelaps mattogrossensis is a mite from the Americas. It has been found on the marsh rice rat (Oryzomys palustris), hispid cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus), black rat (Rattus rattus), brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), and white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) in the United States (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas).[5] In Venezuela, it has been recorded from Holochilus brasiliensis, Sigmodon hirsutus, and Marmosa robinsoni.[4] In Argentina, it has been found on Scapteromys aquaticus, Oligoryzomys flavescens, and Holochilus brasiliensis.[6] The North American form was first described as a separate species, Gigantolaelaps cricetidarum, and is still occasionally considered as such.[7]
