The labidostommatid palpus: a morphological enigma (Acariformes: Prostigmata)
Acarologia, 2015 Hypotheses are reviewed concerning which segments of the primitively five-segmented palpus are coalesced to form the simple, linear, four-segmented form characteristic of labidostommatid mites. Among alternatives, those of either a femurogenu or a tibiotarsus are not based on convincing evidence.

Phylogenetic position of the acariform mites: sensitivity to homology assessment under total evidence [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background Mites (Acari) have traditionally been treated as monophyletic, albeit composed of two major lineages: Acariformes and Parasitiformes. Yet recent studies based on morphology, molecular data, or combinations thereof, have increasingly drawn ...

Atypically Shaped Setae in Gall Mites (Acariformes, Eriophyoidea) and Mitogenomics of the Genus Leipothrix Keifer (Eriophyidae). [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Simple Summary Eriophyoidea (gall mites) are a megadiverse lineage of worm-like mites that feed on vascular plants. The setae of these mites are sometimes distinctive because of their atypical shape, either bifurcated, angled or swollen, but never many ...
