Mesostigmata represented by 19 species (8 families); Astigmata (Acarididia), represented by 8 species (2 families) and Trombidiformes represented by two species belonging to two families. Both mite species of the families Macrochelidae Vithzthum, 1930, and Parasitidae Oudemans, 1901 were recorded in high densities. While scarce numbers of Tarsonemidae Canestrini & Fanzago, 1876 were observed. The annotated checklist reported 150 mite species belonging to 67 genera of 26 families. | ||
