Charletonia is a genus of mites belonging to the family Erythraeidae. [1] [2]
Parasitiformes are a superorder of Arachnids, constituting one of the two major groups of mites, alongside Acariformes. Parasitiformes has, at times, been classified at the rank of order or suborder.
Opilioacaridae is the sole family of mites in the order Opilioacarida, made up of about 13 genera. The mites of this family are rare, large mites, and are widely considered primitive, as they retain six pairs of eyes, and abdominal segmentation. They have historically been considered separate from other mites belonging to Acariformes and Parasitiformes, but are now generally considered a subgroup of Parasitiformes based on molecular phylogenetics.
Erythraeidae is a family of mites belonging to the Trombidiformes. Larval forms of these mites are parasitic on various other arthropods, for example harvestmen, but the adults are free-living predators. These oval mites are rather large, usually reddish coloured and densely hairy. The legs, especially the first and fourth pairs, are long and adapted for running. They have either one or two pairs of eyes and can be distinguished from related families microscopically by the presence of a single claw on the tibia of the palp.
Balaustium is a genus of mites belonging to the family Erythraeidae. These are large red mites with one or two pairs of eyes set well back on the body.
Trombidium rowmundi is a species of mite in the genus Trombidium in the family Trombidiidae. It is found in Poland. The larvae of this species use spiders as a host.
Dermanyssoidea is a superfamily of mites, including most of the mites which parasitise vertebrates.
Abrolophus marinensis is a species of mite belonging to the family Erythraeidae. It is named after the Marine de Farimore, Corsica, where the species was first collected. A. marinensis differs from its cogenerate species in its palptarsus having 2 setae with a tufty tip. It particularly differs from Abrolophus longicollis in its shorter length measurements.
Charletonia cuglierensis is a species of mite belonging to the family Erythraeidae, so named after its type locality. C. cuglierensis belongs to the group of species which possess two setae between coxae II and III. It differs from its cogenerate species by length measurements. It was first found in Sardinia, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of Cuglieri.
Leptus pozzoicus is a species of mite. It is named after Porto Pozzo, near Santa Teresa Gallura, the place where the species was first collected. L. pozzoicus belongs to the group of species with two palpgenualae, and that have over four setae between coxalae II and III. It differs from its cogenerate species by various length measurements.
Charletonia austisensis is a species of mite belonging to the family Erythraeidae. C. austisensis belongs to the species group with two setae between coxae II and III. It differs from its cogenerate species by various length measurements. The species was first found in Austis, Sardinia, after which it is named.
Abrolophus mirabelae is a species of mite belonging to the family Erythraeidae. It belongs to the group of species that have comb-like setae.
Erythraeus moeritzensis is a species of mite belonging to the family Erythraeidae. It belongs to the group of species that has a basifemoral, setal formula 3-3-3.
Erythraeus berninensis is a species of mite belonging to the family Erythraeidae. It belongs to the group of species that has a basifemoral, setal formula 3-3-3.

Charletonia samosensis is a species of mite belonging to the family Erythraeidae, first described from Greece.
Charletonia kalithensis is a species of mites belonging to the family Erythraeidae, first described from Greece.
Abrolophus is a genus of mites in the family Erythraeidae, first described in 1891 by Antonio Berlese.
Allothrombium is a genus of mites belonging to the family Trombidiidae.
