Licneremaeoidea is a superfamily of mites in the order Oribatida. There are about 6 families and more than 170 described species in Licneremaeoidea. [1] [2]
These six families belong to the superfamily Licneremaeoidea:
Oribatida, also known as oribatid mites, moss mites or beetle mites, are an order of mites, in the "chewing Acariformes" clade Sarcoptiformes. They range in size from 0.2 to 1.4 millimetres. There are currently 12,000 species that have been identified, but researchers estimate that there may anywhere from 60,000 to 120,000 total species. Oribatid mites are by far the most prevalent of all arthropods in forest soils, and are essential for breaking down organic detritus and distributing fungi.
Plateremaeidae is a family of oribatids in the order Sarcoptiformes. There are about 7 genera and 19 described species in Plateremaeidae.
Alycidae is a family of mites, or endeostigs, in the suborder Endeostigmata. There are at least 6 genera in Alycidae.
