Laelapidae
The Laelapidae are a family (biology), family of mites in the order Mesostigmata. The family is also referred to in the literature as Laelaptidae, which may be the correct spelling. Description Laelapidae have a shield covering all or most of the dorsal surface (holodorsal shield). Ventrally, there is a sternal shield with 3 pairs of Seta, setae, a tongue- or flask-shaped genital shield (greatly expanded in ''Ololaelaps'') with usually at least 1 pair of setae, and a small anal shield with 3 circumanal setae. The peritremes are typically long and the peritrematal shields often narrow. Ecology Laelapidae is the most ecologically diverse group of Mesostigmata. As of 2012, there were ten laelapid genera known to be free-living Predation, predators in soil, thirty-five that are Parasitism, ectoparasites on mammals (e.g. Rodent, rodents) and forty-three have species associated with arthropods. Laelapidae are the only family in superfamily Dermanyssoidea to include free-living pred ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dermanyssoidea
Dermanyssoidea is a superfamily of mites, including most of the mites which parasitise vertebrates. Families Dermanyssoidea contains 21 families: * Dasyponyssidae *Dermanyssidae * Entonyssidae * Haemogamasidae *Halarachnidae * Hirstionyssidae * Hystrichonyssidae * Ixodorhynchidae * Laelapidae * Larvamimidae * Leptolaelapidae *Macronyssidae * Manitherionyssidae * Omentolaelapidae * Pneumophionyssidae * Raillietiidae *Rhinonyssidae * Spelaeorhynchidae *Spinturnicidae * Trichoaspididae * Uronyssidae * Varroidae The familial composition is debated. For example, a 2010 analysis found Spelaeorhynchidae and Spinturnicidae to be more closely related to Eviphidoidea than to Dermanyssoidea. Description Dermanyssoidea are morphologically variable. For example, within ''Dermanyssus'' (Dermanyssidae) alone, there are some species that are compact and sclerotised with short and stout legs, while others are soft-bodied (to allow engorgement with blood) with reduced shields and slender l ...

Stratiolaelaps Scimitus
''Stratiolaelaps scimitus'' (formerly ''Hypoaspis miles'') is a small (0.5 mm) light brown mite that lives in the top layer of soil. As a natural predator of fungus gnat pupae and of the snail parasite ''Riccardoella limacum'' it is used by gardeners and snail breeders for biological pest control. ''Stratiolaelaps scimitus'' is also commonly used by reptile, amphibian and invertebrate keepers as a preventative or reactive measure against grain mites and reptile mites. Whereas most mite treatments are based on synthetic chemicals, predatory mites are used as a biological method of preventing and curing mite infestations. ''Stratiolaelaps scimitus'' and the similar species, ''S. aculiefer'' are soil-dwelling, predatory mites. ''Stratiolaelaps'' mites feed on fungus gnats, springtails, thrips Thrips ( order Thysanoptera) are minute (mostly long or less), slender insects with fringed wings and unique asymmetrical mouthparts. Different thrips species feed mostly on plan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mesostigmata
Mesostigmata is an order of mites belonging to the Parasitiformes. They are by far the largest group of Parasitiformes, with over 8,000 species in 130 families. Mesostigmata includes parasitic as well as free-living and predatory forms. They can be recognized by the single pair of spiracles positioned laterally on the body. The family with the most described species is Phytoseiidae. Other families of note are Diplogyniidae, Macrochelidae, Pachylaelapidae, Uropodidae and Veigaiidae. Amongst the best known species are ''Varroa destructor'', an economically important parasite of honey bees, as well as the red mite (''Dermanyssus gallinae'') a parasite of poultry, most commonly chickens. Description Mesostigmata are mites ranging from 0.12-4 mm long (0.2-4 mm according to another source). They have a pair of stigmatal openings above legs III-IV usually associated with a peritrematal groove. The gnathosoma has a sclerotised ring around the bases of the chelicerae (basis capitul ...
