Alycidae
Alycidae is a family of mites in the suborder Endeostigmata, established by Canestrini and Fanzago in 1877. The family comprises at least six recognized genera: Alycus, Amphialycus, Coccalicus, Laminamichaelia, Orthacarus, and Petralycus. These mites belong to the primitive acariform group Endeostigmata, which retains ancestral characteristics. The family has been documented in northern European countries including Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
