Abstract
Twenty species of the Enderleinellus parasitic upon squirrels of the Sciurini and Tamiasciurini are described and illustrated, including seven new species _E. deppei, E. kaibabensis, E. nayaritensis, E. oculatus, E. paralongiceps E. pratti, and E. tamiasciuri spp. n. These species are placed into two species-groups, longiceps-group and nitzschi-group, mainly based on the details of abdominal and genital structures of both sexes. The nymphal stages of E. extremus Ferris, E. paralongiceps sp. n., and E. tamiasciuri sp. n. are also described and illustrated. A key to adult stages of the known species of the Enderleinellus from the Sciurini and Tamiasciurini is presented. The characters of taxonomic importance for both nymphal and adult stages in the genus Enderleinellus are also discussed.
