Macronyssus is a genus of bat and bird mites in the family Macronyssidae. There are about 14 described species in Macronyssus. [1]
These 14 species belong to the genus Macronyssus:
Lygisaurus is a genus of skinks, lizards in the family Scincidae.
Anthonie (Antoon) Cornelis Oudemans Jzn was a Dutch zoologist. Although he was a specialist in acarology, the study of the ticks and mites, he was often best known for his books on sea monsters and the dodo.
Varroa is a genus of parasitic mites associated with honey bees, placed in its own family, Varroidae. The genus was named for Marcus Terentius Varro, a Roman scholar and beekeeper. The condition of a honeybee colony being infested with Varroa mites is called varroosis.
Hypoaspis is a genus of mites in the family Laelapidae.
The Acaridae are a family of mites. Common forms include some mold mites, for example the grain mite. Genera in the family include:
Phalangioidea is a superfamily of the harvestman suborder Eupnoi with five recognized families and more than 1,500 species.
The Macronyssidae are a family of parasitic mites in the order Mesostigmata.
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.
Rhodacaridae is a family of mites in the order Mesostigmata.
Rhodacarus is a genus of mites in the family Rhodacaridae.
Pachylaelapidae is a family of mites in the order Mesostigmata.
Halolaelaps is a genus of mites in the family Halolaelapidae. There are more than 30 described species in Halolaelaps.
Chamolaelaps is a genus of mites in the family Laelapidae.
Dinogamasus is a genus of mites in the family Laelapidae. Most species are associated with carpenter bees in the genus Xylocopa and are found in their acarinarium.
Stigmatolaelaps is a genus of mites in the family Laelapidae.
Spinturnicidae is a family of mites in the order Mesostigmata, they are highly specialized parasites of bats wing membrane.
Celaenopsidae is a family of mites in the order Mesostigmata.
Phryganeidae is a family of giant casemakers in the order Trichoptera. There are about 16 genera and at least 80 described species in Phryganeidae.
Sennertia is a genus of mites in the Chaetodactylidae family. There are more than 70 species. Some of these mites are parasites or commensals of bees, but the presence in some bees of specialized structures for carrying mites (acarinarium) indicates the mutualistic nature of the relationship of some species. Most species of the genus Sennertia settle on adult bees as heteromorphic deutonymphs, but the species Sennertia vaga has no deutonymph and settle on adult bees in the eating adult stages. Reproduction and feeding occurs during resettlement. Most species occur on small carpenter bees (Ceratina) and large carpenter bees (Xylocopa) of the family Apidae. A few species are associated with Centris (Paracentris) in the Neotropics.
Gehyra interstitialis, also known as Oudemans's dtella or Oudemans's four-clawed gecko, is a species of gecko in the genus Gehyra, endemic to western Papua New Guinea.
