Laelapidae
The Laelapidae are a 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 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 predators in soil, thirty-five that are ectoparasites on mammals (e.g. rodents) and forty-three have species associated with arthropods. Laelapidae are the only family in superfamily Dermanyssoidea to include free-living predators. Among the arthropod-associated laelapids are ...

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 slend ...
