这份报告解释了在欧洲的三个秘密坟墓螨种的存在，评估其作为痕迹证据或标记的潜在用途。Grave 1（瑞典）：从埋在树木环绕区域的浅坟墓中的尸体表面发现了两种螨种--刺槐根螨Claparède，1869年和甲螨Parasitus loricatus（Wankel，1861年），该区域紧邻家庭花园。坟墓2（德国）：刺革螨（Gamasodes spiniger，Trägårdh，1910年）的嗜水生殖器附着在一只成年苍蝇（双翅目：球角蝇科）身上，这只苍蝇被发现在一个浅墓穴中，墓穴中有两具被土壤和粪便覆盖的人体。3号墓（法国）：在一个深墓穴（80厘米以下）的尸体周围的土壤中发现了P. loricatus。在1号和3号坟墓中，两具尸体都经历了严重的腐烂和骨骼化，其位置与P. loricatus的地下习性相吻合，突出了该物种作为土壤中和后期腐烂的坟墓或埋葬的标志的价值。这种螨类证实了尸体在表层土壤中的位置，这与一种更具体的浅埋类型相一致，即浅坟。在病例2中，嗜粪螨、棘螨和带菌者蝇的存在证实了遗骸与粪便或动物粪便的关联。这三种螨均为首次在人类坟墓中发现。在瑞典没有关于刺槐的记录。
This report interprets the presence of mite species in three clandestine graves in Europe, evaluating their potential use as trace evidence or markers. Grave 1 (Sweden): Two mite speciesRhizoglyphus robiniClaparède, 1869 andParasitus loricatus(Wankel, 1861) were recovered from the surface of a body buried in a shallow grave in an area surrounded by trees, in close vicinity to house gardens. Grave 2 (Germany): Phoretic deutonymphs ofGamasodes spiniger(Trägårdh, 1910) were attached to an adult fly (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae) found within a shallow grave containing two human bodies covered in soil and dung. Grave 3 (France):P. loricatuswere recovered from the soil around a body buried in a deep grave (80 cm under). In graves 1 and 3 both corpses were undergoing advanced decay and skeletization, the locations match with the subterranean habit ofP. loricatus, highlighting the value of this species as a marker of graves or burials in soil and during late decomposition.R. robiniis a soil mite that feeds on decayed roots and bulbs; this mite species confirms the location of the corpse within top soil, agreeing with a more specific type of superficial burial, a shallow grave. In case 2, the presence of both coprophiles, the miteG. spinigerand the carrier fly confirm association of remains with dung or animal feces. The three mite species are reported for the first time in human graves. There are no previous records ofR. robinifrom Sweden.
