Description

Subfamily: Phyllocoptinae Nalepa, 1892

Diagnosis. Phyllocoptinae was established by Nalepa (1892) and is characterized by following characters: body fusiform; gnathosoma relatively smaller than in other families compared with the body, projecting obliquely downwards; prodorsal shield with frontal lobe; scapular setae present or absent; division of legs normal; opisthosoma with broad dorsal annuli and narrow ventral annuli.

Five tribes are included in the Phyllocoptinae: Acaricalini Amrine & Stasny, 1994, Calacarini Amrine & Stasny, 1994, Tegonotini Bagdasarian, 1978, Phyllocoptini Nalepa, 1892, Anthocoptini Amrine & Stasny, 1994. The mites described here belong to three tribes: Anthocoptini, Acaricalini and Tegonotini.

Anthocoptini Amrine & Stasny, 1994. Dorsal annuli lacking latral extensions; prodorsal shield with scapular setae on or near margin; setae usually directed divergently posteriaed; scapular setae with tubercles either cylindrical or rounded, or with basal axes transverse.

Acaricalini Amrine & Stasny, 1994. With divided empodium.

Tegonotini Bagdasarian, 1978. Prodorsal shield with prominent scapular setae; dorsal annuli with laterally extended lobes or pointed projections from all or some of the annuli, or from a lateral anterior opisthosomal expension.
