Members of the genus Glaphyrostomum Braun, 1901 (Trematoda: Brachylaimidae) are parasites of birds. However, an exception occurs in Glaphyrostomum soricis Asakawa, Kamiya and Ohbayashi, 1988, which was described from the long-clawed shrew, Sorex unguiculatus Dobson, 1890, in Hokkaido, Japan. A recent DNA barcode-based trematode survey of land snails clearly showed that Ainohelix editha (A. Adams, 1868), a bradybaenid snail indigenous to Hokkaido, serves as the first and second intermediate hosts for a species of the genus Pseudoleucochloridium Pojmańska, 1959 (Panopistidae). Its adult stage was furthermore confirmed from S. unguiculatus. A comparison of adult morphology between Pseudoleucochloridium sp. and G. soricis revealed that both should be considered the same species. However, Pseudoleucochloridium soricis comb. nov. cannot be applied because P. soricis (Sołtys, 1952) already exists as the type species of the genus. We, therefore, propose Pseudoleucochloridium ainohelicis nom. nov. as a replacement name for G. soricis.

In Japan, the native population of the Oriental White Stork Ciconia boyciana Swinhoe, 1873 had been extinct in 1986, when the last captured stork died in a breeding facility. Later on, some wild or bred storks from Russia and mainland China (clear origin unknown) were transported to Japan, and their descendants were repeatedly released into natural fields to establish wild populations in this country. In this study, the feather mite Pelargolichus orientalis Waki, Mironov, and Shimano, 2023 has been collected from a taxidermy specimen of the Oriental White Stork belonging to a Japanese native population and preserved in the Himeji City Science Museum, Japan. Pelargolichus orientalis is the only feather mite species detected and described from the introduced storks bred in a Japanese zoo in our previous study. The present study shows that P. orientalis did occur in the Japanese native host population.

The feather mite Pseudalloptinus milvulinus (Trouessart, 1884) was collected from feathers of the Black Kite Milvus migrans (Boddaert, 1783) in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, in 2019. The identification of this mite was based on the form and arrangement of setae on the idiosoma and aggenital region. This study is the first report of this mite species and the genus Pseudalloptinus Dubinin, 1956 in Japan.

The parasitic mite Riccardoella (Proriccardoella) triodopsis Fain and Klompen, 1990 was sampled from two localities in Chiba prefecture, Japan. The sampled mites were identified based on palps and leg chaetotaxy and structure of famulus on tibia I. This study is represented by the second record of R. triodopsis inhabiting the pulmonate snail and the first discovery in Japan.
