• Brachypylina

  Brachypylina is a diverse infraorder of oribatid mites (beetle mites) comprising the majority of oribatid species. These mites are characterized by heavily armored, beetle-like bodies with a distinct separation between the notogastral shield and other body regions. They occupy a wide range of terrestrial habitats and play significant roles in decomposition and nutrient cycling.
