| Summary: | The feather mite Promyalges uncus Vitzthum, 1934 is a permanent ectoparasite, all stages of which are located on the skin of its hosts. It has phoretic relations with louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) parasitizing birds. This mite inhabits a wide variety of Passeriformes. This species was found in North America and Europe. The only previous record of this mite in Russia was on the fly O. avicularia from the hooded crow Corvus cornix (Corvidae) in the Leningrad region. Our study reports P. uncus for the first in the subpolar Urals from Ornuthomya chloropus Bergroth, 1901.
