The oldest fossils of acariform mites are from the Rhynie Chert, Scotland, which dates to the early Devonian, around 410 million years ago [4] [5] The Cretaceous Immensmaris chewbaccei had idiosoma of more than 8 mm (0.31 in) in length and was the largest fossil acariform mite and also the largest erythraeoid mite ever recorded.
The oldest fossils of acariform mites are from the Rhynie Chert, Scotland, which dates to the early Devonian, around 410 million years ago [6] [5] while the earliest fossils of Parasitiformes are known from amber specimens dating to the mid-Cretaceous, around 100 million years ago. [5] [7] Most fossil acarids are no older than the Tertiary (up ...
Endeostigmata is a suborder of acariform mites. There are about ten families in Endeostigmata. [1] The grouping is strongly suspected to be paraphyletic, containing unrelated early diverging lineages of mites. [2]
Epidermoptidae is a family of acariform mites. They live as parasites on the skin of birds and mammals . They thrive in warm, damp areas of the skin (several species are nostril specialists).
Tydeidae is a family of acariform mites. As of 2016, it contained over 300 species in three subfamilies, [1] though more species have been discovered since then. [2] These mites live in a wide range of habitats and there are predatory, fungivorous and scavenging species.

Labidostommatidae is a family of acariform mites. These egg-shaped free-living predators have the body completely covered with sclerotized plates, often with a reticulated pattern, two or three eyes and two claws on each tarsus .
