Polydiscia deuterosminthurus is a species of mite recently discovered in the autonomous community of Navarre in Spain.Only the six-legged larval stage is so far known. This lives as a parasite on the springtail Deuterosminthurus bisetosus which was discovered at the same time as the parasite. The association between the two species only seems to last for a few weeks in May and June.
