Celaenopsoidea
Celaenopsoidea is a superfamily of mites in the order Mesostigmata, suborder Trigynaspida. Members are primarily associated with arthropod hosts, particularly beetles. The group includes families such as Schizogyniidae, which exhibit specialized morphological adaptations including sexual dimorphism in mouthpart structures. These mites are generally small, poorly known, and frequently collected through host sampling rather than direct environmental sampling.
Neolobogynium
Neolobogynium is a genus of mesostigmatid mites in the family Diplogyniidae, established by Hicks in 1957. Members of this genus are small arachnids belonging to the order Mesostigmata, a diverse group of mites that includes many free-living and symbiotic species. Diplogyniidae mites are primarily associated with arthropod hosts, particularly beetles. The genus is distinguished from related genera by specific morphological features of the gnathosoma and leg chaetotaxy.
