1. acarina

   Mites are small arachnids (eight-legged arthropods). Mites span two large orders of arachnids, the Acariformes and the Parasitiformes, which were historically grouped together in the subclass Acari, but genetic analysis does not show clear evidence of a close relationship. Most mites are tiny, less than 1 mm (0.04 in) in length, and have a simple, unsegmented body plan. The small size of most species makes them easily overlooked; some species live in water, many live in soil as decomposers, others live on plants, sometimes creating galls, while others again are predators or parasites. This last type includes the commercially destructive Varroa parasite of honey bees, as well as scabies mites of humans. Most species are harmless to humans, but a few are associated with allergies or may transmit diseases. The scientific discipline devoted to the study of mites is called acarology.

1. acarina

   Acarina is a subclass of arachnids that includes mites and ticks. They are typically small in size and are characterized by the lack of a clear separation between the cephalothorax (head and thorax) and abdomen, unlike spiders and scorpions. Many species are parasitic, feeding on the blood or tissues of animals and plants. Most acarines have four pairs of legs.
