Tarsonemidae is a family of mites, also called thread-footed mites or white mites.. Only a limited number of tarsonemid genera (Steneotarsonemus, Polyphagotarsonemus, Phytonemus, Floridotarsonemus and Tarsonemus) are known to feed on higher plants while most species in this family feed on the thin-walled mycelia of fungi or possibly algal bodies.

Steneotarsonemus spinki, the panicle rice mite, [1] spinki mite, or rice tarsonemid mite, [2] is a species of mite in the family Tarsonemidae, the white mites. It is a serious pest of rice in tropical Asia , Central America , and the Caribbean .
Like with all insect and mite bites, the reaction time will vary depending on the person’s immune response. It’s not the burrowing itself that causes a reaction, but the mite, it’s eggs and ...
Adactylidium is a genus of mites known for its unusual life cycle. [1] An impregnated female mite feeds upon a single egg of a thrips, rapidly growing five to eight female offspring and one male in her body. The single male mite mates with all his sisters when they are still inside their mother.
Pyemotes herfsi, also known as the oak leaf gall mite or the oak leaf itch mite, is an ectoparasitic mite identified in Europe and subsequently found in India, Asia, and the United States. The mite parasitizes a variety of insect hosts and is able to bite humans, causing red, itchy, and painful wheals (welts).
Mites in this genus occur in various habitats including plant leaves, moss, nests of vertebrate animals, barn debris and stored products. They are omnivorous scavengers that also prey on small arthropods and eggs of arthropods. [1] For example, Tydeus caudatus both preys on eriophyid mites and feeds on downy mildew. [3]
The microscopic mite Lorryia formosa (). The mites are not a defined taxon, but is used for two distinct groups of arachnids, the Acariformes and the Parasitiformes.The phylogeny of the Acari has been relatively little studied, but molecular information from ribosomal DNA is being extensively used to understand relationships between groups.
Astigmatina is a clade of mites in the order Sarcoptiformes. Astigmata has been ranked as an order or suborder in the past, but was lowered to the unranked clade Astigmatina of the clade Desmonomatides (synonym Desmonomata) in the order.
