Haemogamasus is a genus of mites in the family Haemogamasidae.[1] In North America, they mostly infect rodents, in addition to other small mammals such as shrews, talpids, and Virginia opossums.[2]

An unidentified immature Haemogamasus has been found on the marsh rice rat (Oryzomys palustris) in Georgia.[3]
