Ascidae
Ascidae is a family of mites in the order Mesostigmata. Description Ascidae are mites characterised by: seta ''st4'' usually on unsclerotised cuticle, peritrematic shield broadly connected to exopodal shield beside coxa IV, fixed Chelicerae, cheliceral digit with setiform ''pilus dentilis'' and movable cheliceral digit usually with two teeth, sternal shield with three pairs of lyrifissures and the third pair usually on the shield's posterior margin, genital shield truncate to convex posteriorly (tapering in some ''Antennoseius''), with an anal shield bearing only circumanal setae (rare) or a ventrianal shield bearing additionally up to seven pairs of setae, and Spermatheca, spermathecal apparatus Laelapidae, laelapid-type. This family is morphologically similar to Blattisociidae and Melicharidae, and these families were formerly included within Ascidae. Life cycle The life cycle of Ascidae consists of the stages egg, larva, protonymph, deutonymph and adult. Each stage has a ...

Antennoseius
''Antennoseius'' is a genus of mites in the family Ascidae. As of 2021, it comprised 59 species mostly in subgenera ''Antennoseius'' (34 species) and ''Vitzthumia'' (19 species), as well as six species not assigned to a subgenus. Description Females of ''Antennoseius'' have two distinct shields on their dorsal surface. On the ventral surface, there is a sternal shield (usually with three pairs of Seta, setae), an epigynial shield that is rounded posteriorly, and either an anal shield (with circum-anal setae) or a subtriangular ventrianal shield (bearing 1 or 2 pairs of setae in addition to the circum-anal setae). The two subgenera can be distinguished by the presence (''Vitzthumia'') or absence (''Antennoseius'') of ambulacra and claws on the first leg pair. Additionally, some species of ''Vitzthumia'' have two distinct morphs, a free-living morph and a Phoresis, phoretic morph. The free-living morph has much of its soft body cuticle with microtubercles superimposed on striae a ...

Blattisociidae
Blattisociidae is a family of mites in the order Mesostigmata. Description Blattisociidae are mites with the following features: dorsal shield entire or laterally incised and with 18-43 pairs of setae; female with usually more than four pairs of marginal Seta, setae on soft cuticle; palptarsal apotele two-tined; fixed Chelicerae, cheliceral digit with setiform pilus dentilis; peritreme usually extending from stigma at least to level of s2, and fused anteriorly with dorsal shield and broadly fused with exopodal shield beside coxa IV (except in ''Fungiseius clavulisetis''); female Spermatheca, spermathecal apparatus of the Phytoseiidae, phytoseiid-type (except in ''Zercoseius''); male spermatodactyl at least as long as movable cheliceral digit. Mites of this family resemble those in Ascidae and Melicharidae, and historically these three families were all grouped together as Ascidae. Ecology Blattisociidae in general are predators and fungivores, with some parasitic species. T ...

Melicharidae
''Melicharidae'' is a family of mites in the order Mesostigmata. Description Melicharidae are mites characterized by: podonotal and opisthonotal shields usually fused; the third pair of sternal lyrifissures (''iv3'') situated off sternal shield (rarely absent) and usually on metasternal plates; peritrematic shield free posteriorly from, or narrowly fused with, exopodal shield beside coxa IV (except ''Orthadenella''); fixed cheliceral digit usually with a hyaline lobe instead of a setiform ''pilus dentilis,'' and movable cheliceral digit usually with a pointed process (mucro) on mid-ventral face; genital shield usually gently rounded posteriorly; anal shield usually oval or elliptical, bearing only circumanal setae; and female spermathecal apparatus laelapid-type. Ecology Melicharidae are free-living mites found in various habitats including soil, leaf litter, plants (e.g. bromeliads, pineapple flowers and false bird-of-paradise), rotten wood, stored products, seaweeds, an ...
