Acaridae
Guides
Boletoglyphus
Boletoglyphus is a genus of mites in the family Acaridae, established by Volgin in 1953. The genus contains four described species: B. cribrosus, B. boletophagi, B. ornatus, and B. extremiorientalis. The specific epithet "boletophagi" and genus name suggest an association with boletes (fungi in the family Boletaceae), though this relationship has not been formally documented in the available literature. These mites belong to the order Sarcoptiformes, which includes many stored-product and fungal-feeding mites.
Sancassania
Sancassania is a genus of mites in the family Acaridae containing more than 80 species. Many species are associated with fungi, particularly mushrooms, with some lineages having specialized to exploit this ephemeral resource. Other species are phoretic on beetles or occur in soil and decomposing organic matter. The genus includes economically significant species associated with agricultural crops and biocontrol systems.
Sancassania anomala
Sancassania anomala is a species of mite belonging to the family Acaridae, within the order Sarcoptiformes. These mites are part of the diverse oribatid mite fauna, a group primarily known for their role in decomposition and nutrient cycling in soil ecosystems. The genus Sancassania includes species commonly associated with stored products, decaying organic matter, and various substrates where they feed on fungi and detrital material. Specific information about S. anomala remains limited in publicly available sources.
