Trombidiformes Genera
Trombidiformes is a large, diverse Order (biology), order of mites. Taxonomy In 1998, Trombidiformes was divided into the Sphaerolichida and the Prostigmata. The group has few synapomorphy, synapomorphies by which it can be defined, unlike the other major group of Acariformes, acariform mites, Sarcoptiformes. Its members include medically important mites (such as ''Demodex'', the Trombiculidae, chiggers, and Trombicula, scrub-itch mites) and many agriculturally important species, including the spider mites (Tetranychidae). The superfamily Eriophyoidea, traditionally considered members of the Trombidiformes, have been found to be basal mites in genomic analyses, sister to the clade containing Sarcoptiformes and Trombidiformes. The 2004 classification retained the two suborders, comprising around 125 families and more than 22,000 described species. In the 2011 revised classification, the order now contains 151 families, 2235 genera and 25,821 species, and there were another 10 spe ...

Trombidium Holosericeum
''Trombidium holosericeum'' is a species of mite in the genus ''Trombidium''. It occurs in Europe, Asia, and Africa and is commonly confused with other red mite species. Description This species is one of the largest mites in northern temperate zones, with a body length of about ). The soft, brightly red body is covered with fine hairs, giving it a velvety appearance. The small eyes are located on stalks. They have scissor-like chelicerae and their pedipalps are used as touch organs. Its bright red color results from carotenoids, warning predators about the toxicity of the mite (aposematism). Almost nothing is known about the toxic substances used, but they are probably contained within the integument. The specific epithet is derived from Ancient Greek , , "whole" and , , "silken". Biology While adults live freely and are often found wandering about, searching for small animals and insect eggs for food, the larvae try to find a host to attach themselves to, often an insect li ...

Eriophyoidea
Eriophyoidea are a superfamily of herbivore, herbivorous mites. All post-embryonic instars lack the third and fourth pairs of legs, and the respiratory system is also absent. The taxonomy of this group has always been confused. There were families created for few or even one species, i.e. Ashieldophyidae Mohanasundaram, 1984 and Pentasetacidae Shevchenko, 1991 but these families were placed by J. W. Amrine and T. A. Stasny within larger groups. Today the following three families are believed to belong to superfamily Eriophyoidea: * Eriophyidae Nalepa, 1898 * Phytoptidae Murray, 1877 * Diptilomiopidae Keifer, 1944 Description Eriophyoids are no more than 0.5 mm long and usually 0.12 mm long or less. The body shape is usually long and wormlike (vermiform), but it can rarely be flattened or lobulate. At the front end of the body are the mouthparts, a pair of minute Pedipalp, palps and two pairs of legs. The posterior part of the body is annulate, meaning it is covered in rings (an ...

Hydrachna
''Hydrachna'' is a genus of mites in the family Hydrachnidae, the sole genus of the family. There are more than 80 described species in ''Hydrachna''. Larvae of this genus are known to be parasites of water beetles such as '' Eretes griseus'' by attaching to the back of the thorax and abdomen. These water mite larvae are also hosts of '' Callicorixa'', '' Corixa'', '' Cymatia'' and '' Sigara'' species, although '' Sigara falleni'' has been described as "immune" to these mites, and '' Cymatia coleoptrata'' and ''Sigara striata'' also gain this "immunity" after a few years of interaction. Species These 87 species belong to the genus ''Hydrachna'': * '' Hydrachna analis'' Viets & K. * '' Hydrachna approximata'' Halik, 1940 * '' Hydrachna baculoscutata'' Crowell, 1960 * '' Hydrachna batorligetiensis'' Szalay, 1953 * '' Hydrachna bilobata'' Halik, 1940 * '' Hydrachna bimaculata'' Koenike * '' Hydrachna bisignifera'' Viets & K. * ''Hydrachna brehmi'' Szalay, 1955 * '' Hydrachna bulgar ...

Parasite210080-Fig02 Eutarsopolipus Paryavae
Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives (at least some of the time) on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. The entomologist E. O. Wilson characterised parasites' way of feeding as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include single-celled protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the broomrapes. There are six major parasitic strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism (by contact), trophicallytransmitted parasitism (by being eaten), vector-transmitted parasitism, parasitoidism, and micropredation. One major axis of classification concerns invasiveness: an endopara ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
