It is the most widely known member of the family Tetranychidae or spider mites. Its genome was fully sequenced in 2011, and was the first genome sequence from any chelicerate.
Tetranychidae have eyes, 4 pairs of setae on the prodorsum, and a palptibial complex. Its two subfamilies differ in the structure of the empodium, which has tenent hairs in Bryobiinae and lacks them in Tetranychinae. [7] [8] Tuckerellidae have most dorsal setae expanded and leaf-like. The posterior margin of the body has a row of flagelliform ...
