A list of 104 Philippine mites associated with insects and other arthropods is presented together with a host index. These were collected from 73 determined and a few undetermined hosts. All major acarine suborders are represented with 45 species belonging to the Gamasida, 1 to Ixodida, 32 to Actinedida, 18 to Acaridida and 8 to Oribatida. Arthropod hosts include the orders Hymenoptera with 55, Coleoptera with 50, Hemiptera with 7, Lepidoptera with 6, Blattodea and Diplopoda each with5, Diptera with 2, and Scorpionida and Crustacea with 1 mite associate. Two mite species, Hemipteroseius indicus (Krantz and Khot) (Otopheidomenidae) and Eviphis cultratellus (Berlese) (Eviphididae) are reported for the first time from the Philippines. Some new locality and host records are also given for a few species of mites.
