AB  - Here we report the ectoparasitic snake mite Ophionyssus natricis (Gervais, 1844) collected from the dice snake, Natrix tessellata (Laurenti, 1768) (Reptilia: Colubridae), in Mangystau, Kazakhstan. This is the first record of O. natricis for the country. We also consider some morphological features of the snake mite in the study area.
