''Poecilochirus'' is a genus of mites in the family Parasitidae. They feed on fly eggs and larvae. At least 14 species of the genus are carried from one food source to another by beetles of multiple genera in the family Silphidae with whom they often have a symbiotic relationship in protecting the beetle's larva or its food supply from fly larvae. Reportedly, some nematodes in the family Allantonematidae are parasites of mites in this genus. Although some species from this genus have been described and sampled on previous real forensic cases or successional studies on carcasses, their usefulness as a forensic marker in forensic entomology has been recently appreciated. ==Species== * '' Poecilochirus armatus'' (Trägårdh, 1912) * '' Poecilochirus austroasiaticus'' * ''Poecilochirus belkahvensis'' Ramaraju & Madanlar, 1998 * '' Poecilochirus belovae'' (Davydova, 1975) * ''Poecilochirus britannicus'' Hyatt, 1986 * ''Poecilochirus carabi'' G.
