Camisia
Camisia is a genus of oribatid mites (Oribatida) in the family Crotoniidae, comprising 34 species and one subspecies worldwide. These large mites (>1 mm) are primarily arboreal, inhabiting tree trunks, forest canopies, and moss-lichen communities on rocky surfaces. The genus exhibits distinctive morphological adaptations including cuticular secretions that bind sand grains to the body surface. Camisia is notable for its complex taxonomic history, having been classified in both Crotoniidae and Camisiidae families by different authorities.
