Guntheria coorongensis is a species of mite in the family Trombiculidae,[1] found from the tip of Cape York in Queensland to South Australia.[2]

The genus was first described as Schoengastia coorongense by Hirst in 1929.[1][3] The species epithet indicates that it comes from the Coorong.

The larva of these mites ('chiggers') when feeding embed themselves in host animals,[4] and for human hosts, the resulting skin irritation has been known as 'tea-tree itch' or 'duck-shooters itch'.[5] Host animals recorded include native rats and marsupials: (from Queensland):[4] Antechinus stuartii, other Antechinus species, Rattus lutreolus lutreolus, R. sordidus sordidus, R. leucopus leucopus; (from Victoria),[4] A. swainsonii and A. minimus; (from South Australia):[6] R.fuscipes greyii. This mite has also been listed as a parasite of the Northern Quoll in the Northern Territory.[7]
