Boletoglyphus
Boletoglyphus is a genus of mites in the family Acaridae, established by Volgin in 1953. The genus contains four described species: B. cribrosus, B. boletophagi, B. ornatus, and B. extremiorientalis. The specific epithet "boletophagi" and genus name suggest an association with boletes (fungi in the family Boletaceae), though this relationship has not been formally documented in the available literature. These mites belong to the order Sarcoptiformes, which includes many stored-product and fungal-feeding mites.
