AB  - We redescribe the endoparasitic chigger Hannemania achalai based on specimens collected from the type frog host (Pleurodema kriegi) and an additional host (P. cordobae) in the type locality of this mite (Pampa de Achala, Córdoba province, Argentina). Hannemania achalai is diagnosed by the following characters: palpal setal formula B/B/BBB/5B, palpal claw trifurcate, galeal seta B, parasubterminala I N, 2–4 genualae I, 1 genuala II–III, femorala III absent and coxa III with 1B. This redescription is accompanied by micrographs with scanning electronic microscopy and drawings.
