The subcutaneous parasitic mite Hemimyialges macdonaldi was found in a specimen of the Orange-bellied Parrot Neophema chrysogaster that died in captivity. A review of the host range and geographic distribution of this mite shows it is cosmopolitan and occurs in a very wide range of birds. It does not appear to be a cause of significant mortality in its hosts.

澳大利亚橙腹鹦鹉 Neophema chrysogaster（Latham，1790）（鹦鹉形目：Psittaculidae）中寄生螨 Hemimyialges macdonaldi（Evans 等人，1963 年）（螨虫：Epiddermoptidae）的记录

在圈养死亡的橙腹鹦鹉Nephema chrysogaster的标本中发现了皮下寄生螨Hemimyialges macdonaldi 。对这种螨虫的寄主范围和地理分布的审查表明，它是世界性的，并且存在于非常广泛的鸟类中。它似乎并不是其宿主大量死亡的原因。
