Adamystidae
Adamystidae is a family of predatory soil mites in the order Trombidiformes, comprising the sole family of the monotypic superfamily Adamystoidea. The family contains at least three genera: the extant Adamystis and Nannodromus, and the extinct †Saxidromus. These mites are edaphic, inhabiting soil and leaf litter, and are characterized by specific morphological features of the propodosoma and idiosoma that distinguish them from related anystine mites.
