Microcheyla
Microcheyla is a genus of mites in the family Cheyletidae, described by Volgin in 1966. Members of this genus belong to the tribe Bakini within the subfamily Cheyletinae. Cheyletid mites are generally small, free-living or predatory arachnids characterized by their enlarged, raptorial palps. The genus is part of the diverse prostigmatan mite fauna, though specific ecological and biological details for Microcheyla remain poorly documented in available literature.
