Spinturnicidae
Spinturnicidae is a family of mites in the order Mesostigmata. The mites are highly specialized parasites of wing or tail membrane or bats. Some species infest eyelids and eye canthi. The species of Spinturnicidae are found in bat habitats throughout the world, living all stages of life on bats. Genera These 11 genera belong to the family Spinturnicidae: * ''Ancystropus'' Kolenati, 1856 * ''Cameronieta'' Machado-Allison, 1965 * ''Emballonuria'' Uchikawa, Zhang, O'Connor & Klompen, 1994 * ''Eyndhovenia'' Rudnick, 1960 * ''Meristaspis'' Kolenati, 1857 * ''Mesoperiglischrus'' Dusbábek, 1968 * ''Oncoscelus'' Delfinado & Baker, 1963 * ''Parameristaspis'' Advani & Vazirani, 1981 * ''Paraperiglischrus'' Rudnick, 1960 * ''Periglischrus'' Kolenati, 1857 * ''Spinturnix'' von Heyden, 1826 References Mesostigmata Parasites of bats Taxa named by Anthonie Cornelis Oudemans Acari families {{Mesostigmata-stub ...

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 chelic ...

Acari Genera
Mites are small arachnids (eight-legged arthropods) of two large orders, the Acariformes and the Parasitiformes, which were historically grouped together in the subclass Acari. However, most recent genetic analyses do not recover the two as each other's closest relative within Arachnida, rendering the group invalid as a clade. Most mites are tiny, less than in length, and have a simple, unsegmented body plan. The small size of most species makes them easily overlooked; some species live in water, many live in soil as decomposers, others live on plants, sometimes creating galls, while others are predators or parasites. This last type includes the commercially destructive '' Varroa'' parasite of honey bees, as well as scabies mites of humans. Most species are harmless to humans, but a few are associated with allergies or may transmit diseases. The scientific discipline devoted to the study of mites is called acarology.
