Glycyphagoidea
Glycyphagoidea is a superfamily of astigmatid mites within the order Sarcoptiformes. These mites are primarily associated with stored products, bird and mammal nests, and occasionally with human habitations. The superfamily includes several families of small, soft-bodied mites that are often overlooked due to their minute size.
Glyphanoetus
Glyphanoetus is a genus of mites in the family Histiostomatidae, established by Oudemans in 1929. These mites belong to the order Sarcoptiformes and the suborder Astigmata, a group characterized by the absence of respiratory tracheae in adults. The genus is part of the Histiostomatoidea superfamily, which contains mites often associated with decomposing organic matter and invertebrate hosts. Specific biological details about Glyphanoetus remain poorly documented in available literature.
