Anystinae
Anystinae is a subfamily of prostigmatic mites in the family Anystidae. These fast-moving mites are commonly known as whirligig mites due to their rapid, erratic movement patterns. Members of this subfamily are primarily predatory and are frequently observed in terrestrial habitats. The subfamily includes the well-known genus *Anystis*, which contains species that are commercially used for biological pest control.
