is modified from Royce and Krantz (1989). Wandering
congregates in considerable numbers on the brood cells, and larvae feeding on pollen grains provided by the adult bumblebees. When an individual pollen grain was chosen, the gnathosoma was depressed ventrally relative to the opisthosoma, and the grain removed from its sticky substrate by the palps and chelicerae. The nectar-coated grain was held in the region of the hypostome under the encircling palpi and rapidly rotated with the help of the chelicerae. During the manipulation, the nectar coating applied earlier by the foraging bee was stripped from the pollen grain surface. The mite probably also removed much of the surface pollenkitt, a lipoidal substance that covers the pollen grain surface and is incorporated to some extent in the outer wall (exine). Pollenkitt, however, does not trigger feeding in the absence of nectar. It appears that the removed nectar and pollenkitt are dissolved by salivary secretions that are directed over the rotating pollen-grain surface, and then recaptured and redirected to the preoral cavity via the fluid transport system formed by the capitular groove and overlying tritosternum. Following feeding, the stripped pollen grain was discarded and another quickly chosen for manipulation. Females were found to process pollen grains twice as rapidly as either males or deutonymphs. The mites may rupture thin-walled pollen grains during the feeding process, and it is possible that nutrients are acquired from the pollen core in this way.

includes nearly 90 described species. They occur in association with bark beetles, bumblebees and other insects, in nests of birds and mammals, in flowers visited by hummingbirds, in various decaying organic substances, or are synanthropic. Some species feed on small arthropods (including acarid mites), nematodes, fungi, or pollen (Nawar, 1992). Adults of other species are phoretic on insects, although
(Womersley, 1956) is parasitic in all instars on cockroaches (Egan and Moss, 1969). Many species are cosmopolitan (Halliday et al., 1998).
Five species were recorded in association with nests of bumblebees or phoretic on the adult insects in Europe, Siberia, and Kuril Islands (Davydova, 1988; Karg, 1971; Klimov, 1998; Westerboer, 1963). All of them, except for
(Davydova, 1988), were found in North America.
, a widespread species living in a variety of habitats, including honeybee hives, is also given in the key below. In addition,
species were reported from beehives in Iran (Kamali et al., 2001).

Proctolaelaps pygmaeus was collected in a very wide range of habitats, including soil, stored food, bulbs, laboratory insect cultures, plant roots, decomposing plant material, under bark, in subterranean nests of small mammals, birds and in beehives. It may be predatory on small arthropods, but is also a fungivore, and unlike most ascid mites, it is able to ingest solid matter. There is circumstantial evidence that it can attack humans and that the results can be severe enough to cause extensive papular dermatosis (Halliday et al., 1998; Haragsim et al., 1978). In North America, this mite has not been found on bees or in bee nests.

Proctotydaeus (4);
Neotydeolus Flechtmann et Camargo, 1979 (3);
Proctotyduls Kazmierski, 1998 (6); and
Oriolella Baker, 1968 (4).
Species of the nominal subgenus are associated with locusts (Acrididae, Orthoptera). The subgenus
Oriolella includes species that have been found in barn straw, nests of hawks and owls or on beetles (Coleoptera: Ipidae, Cucujidae). Mites of the subgenus
Proctotydulsare found on different plants, straw, ipid beetles (Ipidae), or on noctuid moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). All species of the subgenus
Neotydeolus are associated with nests of stingless bees. (Kazmierski, 1998b; Khaustov, 1997).

Pyemotes includes polixenous or monoxenous insect parasites exhibiting a wide variety of morphological polymorphisms. Some species of
Pyemotes are natural enemies of forest insects or stored product insects. The genus is divided into two groups,
scolyti and
ventricosus (Cross et al., 1981).
Species of the
scolyti group are phoretic on bark beetles (Scolytidae). At least one female morph is a phoretomorph. Phoretomorphic females are shorter than "normal" females and much broader, with thickened legs and enlarged claws. There are also two morphs in the male of
Pyetomotes dimorphus Cross et Moser, 1975: "normal" and heteromorphic. The latter morph is distinctly larger, with many greatly enlarged setae, and sometimes setae are duplicated. The mites feed only on bark beetle brood or on immatures of other beetles in the subcortical habitats; none feeds on adults. They are relatively "venomless" and the host remaining alive for about a day after the initial attack (Cross and Moser, 1975).
Species of the
ventricosus group are not known to be phoretic, and thus females are monomorphic. At least some species possess venom. The mites inject venom into prey, which causes paralisis and eventual death (Krczal, 1957). The host range includes a variety of hosts, and some species even attack and feed on pupae and adult insects. The bites of
Pyemotes tritici (Lagrèze-Fossot et Montané, 1851) can cause severe dermatitis on people handling infested material such as hay. Contact with this mite can also produce asthma or nausea.
Records of
Pyemotes from bees include
Pyemotes ventricosus (Newport, 1850) from
Anthophora retusa (Apidae) in England (Newport, 1850),
Pyemotes anobii Krczal, 1957 from a colony of the European honey bee,
Apis mellifera (Apidae) in the United States (Cross and Moser, 1975),
Pyemotes beckeri Krczal, 1957 (as
ventricosus) from laboratory cultures of megachilid bees (Krombein, 1967), and
Pyemotes herfsi (Oudemans, 1936) from hives of
Apis cerana in India (Dinabandhoo and Dogra, 1982)
. In the latter case, the mites were considered as pests. In Brazil,
Pyemotes tritici (LaGrèze-Fossat & Montagné, 1851) can destroy entire colonies of stingless bees (
Tetragonisca angustula,
Frieseomelitta varia ,
Melipona subnitida,
Melipona asilvai ) and cause skin irritation in beekeepers (Menezes at al., 2009; Kerr at al., 1996; Nogueira-Neto, 1997).
Pyemotes ventricosus, the type species of the genus, is poorly described and probably has been misidentified by subsequent workers. Oudemans (1937) speculated that the fungal disease of the bee larvae reported by Frison (1923) for
Anthophora abrupta in the United States, is in fact physogastric females of
Pyemotes ventricosus. Cross and Moser (1975) suggested that this species is only known from the original description and has never been recollected.

Lyctus planicollis LeConte, 1858 (Coleoptera: Lyctidae) in Mississippi,
Scolytus multistriatus (Marsham, 1802) (Scolytidae) in Louisiana, and a wasp nest in Virginia (Arlington) (Cross and Moser, 1975). Krombein (1967) reported "
Pyemotes ventricosus" from an array of sphecid and vespid wasps, as well as from nests of megachilid bees infested in the laboratory. Because his material included numerous samples from nests of wasps from Arlington (Virginia), and Cross and Moser (1975) reported
Pyemotes beckeri from a wasp nest from exactly the same locality, we assume that Krombein's material in fact was misidentified. Unfortunately, without Krombein's material we can not confirm this assumption or check whether it is represented by one or more species. Unverified records of
Pyemotes beckeri from North American Hymenoptera include
Tripargilum clavatum (Say, 1837) (Maryland, New York, Virginia),
Tripargilum tridentatum tridentatum (Packard, 1867),
Tripargilum tridentatum archboldi (Krombein, 1959) (Florida),
Trypoxylon frigidum Smith, 1856 (Virginia),
Psenulus pallipes parenosas (Pate, 1944) (Virginia) (Sphecidae),
Stenodynerus krombeini Bohart, 1953 (New York),
Euodynerus foraminatus apopkensis (Robertson, 1901) (Virginia) (Vespidae),
Prochelostoma philadelphi (Robertson, 1891) (Virginia, infested in laboratory),
Aschmeadiella bigeloviae (Cockerell, 1897) (Arizona, infested in laboratory),
Aschmeadiella bucconis denticulata (1878) (Arizona, infested in laboratory),
Osmia pumila Cresson, 1864 (infested in laboratory, the nest is probably from Maryland) (Megachilidae) (Krombein, 1967).
Outside North America, this species was found on larvae of
Anobium punctatum (De Geer, 1774) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae),
Sitophilus granarius (Linnaeus, 1758), and
Sitophilus oryzae (Linnaeus 1763) (Curculionidae) in Germany (Krczal, 1957).
Krombein (1967) noted that "normal" females move relatively rapidly. They are able to leave an infested nest after the host insects have been killed, and enter adjacent nests through the breached entrance plugs and cell partitions. The mites attack eggs, larvae, pupae, as well as paralyzed prey stored by wasps (insects and spiders). This species of
Pyemotes can cause serious problems in laboratory settings, as mite females can easily infest cultures of bees through the split halves of the trap nests.

Dinabandhoo and Dogra (1980) report that colonies of
Apis cerana infested by
Pyemotes herfsi in Kulu, India show symptoms of restlessness or lethargy and do not produce brood. The infested colonies were recovered by fumigating them with dichlorvos.
Pyemotes herfsi causes high incidences of red, itching, and painful welts on people in the midwestern United States, where the mite is normally preying on gall-making midge larvae on oak leaves (Broce, 2006).
The below account on biology is based on Herfs (1926) and Cross (1965).
Both males and females pass through all immature stages while still within the enormously distended, globular opisthosoma of the mother mite, and are born as adults. Most males are born during the first half of the birth period and normally are present only in small numbers (three to five percent of the total number of offspring at 25°C). They seldom leave the body of the mother and are parasitic upon it. At 25°C, males of
P. herfsi removed from the maternal "opisthosomal globe" died 16 to 25 hours after removal, presumably from starvation, and if placed on the bodies of normal, healthy hosts did not feed. Males are usually found resting quietly on the opisthosoma of the mother, for the most part near the vulva. They may assist in the birth of the females by grasping the latter with the hind legs and pulling, shifting the grasp, pulling again, etc. This aid is not necessary since birth of the females continues smoothly in the absence of males although taking slightly longer (average birth time of females of
P. herfsi with males, 171 seconds, average time without males, 217 seconds). As soon the newly born female completely leaves the birth canal, the male initiates copulation. In he grasps the female and adjusts, with the assistance of the hind legs, her body until contact is made. This entire process of adjustment and mating may take 10 minutes or more, although actual copulation probably lasts only 20 to 30 seconds.
Males of
P. herfsi normally assist only in the birth of the females, paying no attention to emerging males. They likewise ignore mated females, although one or more males may attempt to disrupt pairs
in copulo. Early in the birth period of the mother, only a single
P. herfsi male is usually found on the opisthosoma but as this period progresses, several may be present. Shortly (within 10 minutes) after being mated, the young female leaves the body of the mother and seeks food. If, however, males are lacking on the maternal hysterosoma, young females do not leave but remain resting upon the latter for some time awaiting the birth of a male. Only after a full day or longer do they leave.
Unmated females seemingly suffer a high mortality, only about 10 percent of those in experimental cultures surviving to produce offspring. Such females are arrhenotokous, producing only males. The total number of offspring produced compares favorably with that of mated females of the same size. According to both Krczal and Herfs, young females die of starvation within 48 hours of their birth if food is not found. This statement makes dispersion and perhaps overwintering difficult to explain since it is obviously the young females which must disperse. Herfs found that young females unable to find a host would sometimes return to the mother and feed in the manner of the male on the parent's hysterosoma. Rarely this filial parasitism became permanent and ended with the death of the mother and the production of offspring by the daughter. More commonly it was quite transitory and resulted in no visible harm to the mother while seemingly providing the daughter with enough food to prevent at least immediate starvation.
Young females of
P. herfsi are stimulated by moving objects soon after leaving the mother, stretching the body toward the source of the stimulus. Such behavior indicates dispersion by phoresy, a phenomenon which has been observed only rarely in
Pyemotes despite its widespread occurrence in other members of the family. In view of the fact that young females starve so quickly, the questions of their survival between generations of the host and of overwintering remain essentially unanswered. As mentioned by Krczal, perhaps the phoretic period is ephemeral, serving only to bring the females into fortuitous contact with one of a number of possible hosts. This could explain their rare and sporadic occurrence in the nests of solitary bees and social wasps, hosts in which an overwintering period would be required of the young females. Presumably, such a period would result in their migration or death, thus preserving the host from further attack until the next "accidental" infestation occurred.
Upon finding a host, the young female selects a favorable location and inserts her chelicerae, an action which may elicit striking or curling movements from the host. Within a short time, the host begins to show signs of paralysis, this increasing until the larva is completely incapable of movement. Time elapsed between onset of attack and complete paralysis depends upon the number of punctures made, but generally is two to four hours. The same larva may be attacked by several mites, Herfs having counted a maximum of 178 on a single host. The parasite develops quickly, the opisthosoma increasing in both length and width until the mite assumes a form quite similar to an incandescent light bulb. This stage is usually reached in about 24 hours. Complete development, in which the opisthosoma becomes a huge, turgid sphere may be completed in another 24 hours, although it usually requires seven to eleven days to reach maximum size. At 25° C the average time from initial insertion of the chelicerae to birth of the first offspring is 9.5 days in
P. herfsi. The size of the opisthosomal globe is well correlated with the number of offspring produced. In cases of multiple parasitism the size of the opisthosoma will be reduced, and females concerned will produce a relatively small number of offspring, sometimes averaging as low as six or seven. Females of
P. herfsi reared singly produced a maximum of 284 offspring and averaged 128 at 25°C and 150 at room temperature.
The birth period, usually terminated by the death of the female, ranged from 9 to 33 days and averaged 17.3 days. The average life span of the females in Herfs' cultures at 25° C. was 26.8 days as measured from the beginning of feeding to the death of the mite. The average life span of the male is much shorter, since it dies with the mother mite. It was found that longevity of
P. herfsi males was also positively correlated with amount of sexual activity. The temperature of the microhabitat was also an important factor affecting both longevity and fecundity of both sexes. Several previous workers have found 25 to 30° C to be optimum and Herfs noted a loss in the ability of the mother to give birth at 35°C.

Apis cerana infested by
Pyemotes herfsi in India were cured by three treatments of fumigation with dichlorvos (Dinabandhoo & Dogra, 1980).10 ml of dfchlorvos solution (50 ppm) was applied to a strip of blotting paper stapled to an empty frame. To avoid direct contact by bees, the strip was enveloped by perforated paper. A treatment frame was put into the brood chamber in the spring (3 treatments each of 12 h, at intervals of 2 days) or in the autumn (5 treatments each for 24 h on alternate days). Post-treatment examination revealed that the mite was controlledfollowing three fumigations. No mites were found on bees examined after treatment. The uptake of dichlorvos by the bees was calculated to be 25G-500 ng per colony (5,000-10,000 bees), whtch is considered a safe level (after Dinabandhoo & Dogra, 1979).

P. tritici, may produce severe skin lesions, asthma, or nausea in humans. It has also been shown to have great potential as a biological control agent for insect pests (Kethley, 1982). Its effectiveness as a parasitoid results from several characteristics (Bruce, 1989):
(1) high reproductive potential;
(2) short life-cycle (4-7 days);
(3) no intermediate hosts or food sources required-- all development occurs within the opisthosomal sac of the adult female and all offspring are born live as sexually mature adults;
(4) only females are parasitic and represent about 90-95% of the population;
(5) females mate immediately at birth and begin host-seeking activity;
(6) populations are easily reared and synchronized in the laboratory; and (7) they are cosmopolitan in distribution.

The family-group name Pediculoididae was proposed by Berlese (1897) for
Pediculoides Targioni-Tozzetti, 1878. When it was realized that this genus is a junior synonym of
Pyemotes Amerling, 1861, a new family name, Pyemotidae, was proposed (Oudemans, 1937). Although ICZN treats family- and genus-group names independently (i.e., synonymy of a type genus does not affect the validity of the corresponding family-group name), article 40.2 stipulates that substitute family-group names proposed before 1961 is to be maintained if it is in prevailing usage (ICZN, 1999). This is the case for Pyemotidae. The appropriate citation for this family name is Pyemotidae Oudemans, 1937 (1897), see recommendation 40A (ICZN, 1999).

One described species is known from the late Eocene (Khaustov and Perkovsky 2010). Adult females of Pyemotidae are parasites of all developmental stages of holometabolous insects, especially subcortical beetles and stored product insects. When the female sucks the haemolymph of the host her posterior opisthosoma becomes greatly swollen because of developing eggs (physogastric female). Eggs hatch within the female, and adults are the only developmental stage in the family. Adult males emerge first, pierce the swollen opisthosoma with their mouthparts and remain near the opening. Males copulate with females as the latter emerge from the mother's body. The copulation triggers searching behavior in females, which immediately leave to attack a suitable host.
The genus
Pyemotes Amerling, was recorded parasitizing bees' larvae, pupae, and, raraely, adults.

Tetrapedia diversipes were shown to be beneficial to the bee as the bee mortality rate in nests was inversely correlated to the level of mite infestation (Cordeiro
et al., 2010). The mites presumably feed on fungi harmful to the bee larvae inside the bee nests (Cordeiro
et al., 2010).
In Panama,
Tetrapedia sp. nests primarily from the late dry season until the early wet season (April to July), and occasionally in the early dry season (November to February). The
Tetrapedia female collects floral oils to combine with pollen provisions, and gathers dry soil to make partitions between the cells. Both materials are carried on the hairs of the tibial scopae. Soil in the cell partitions appeared to be admixed with a resinous substance and much of it formed small, shiny pellets less than a half of millimeter in diameter. Mature larvae produced fecal pellets, which are about 1.2 mm long and another, cigar-shaped. Several hundred mites were scattered among the two types of pellets. This was the approximate mite abundance in each of three completed nests having 5-6 bee cells. A nest containing young larvae had several mites in the loose soil fill between each cell and also on the pollen provision. The mites presumably fed on materials in the cells, and possibly on the fatty acids from floral oils mixed with some of the fill dirt. Mites were much more apparent in nests from which bees had emerged than in the nest containing young larvae. Adults of
Tetrapedia routinely harbor mites on the basal metasomal tergites and hind legs, particularly on the scopae. A characteristic of
Tetrapedia is their repeated visitation to small patches of dry soil in which females collect soil for nest construction. The mites apparently disperse to new nests by leaving a nest with emerging bees. An individual mite was seen wandering within a small (10 cm diameter) area in which three female
Tetrapedia had been seen collecting loose dirt. The mites thus possibly disperse among female bees at such a restricted foraging spot, and they probably arrive at the nests of more than one apid bee in this manner (Roubik, 1987).
The shape and internal structure of the "nematodes" reported in the female spermathecae (OConnor, 1993a) are consistent with those of astigmatid mite spermatophores (Griffiths & Boczek, 1977)

The deutonymphs are usually phoretic in specialized circular metasomal pouches on the lateral margins of metasomal terga 3 and 4 (acarinaria). Phoretic deutonymphs are found on 70-90% of four species of female bees. The mites and their hosts are univoltine. One or a few deutonymphs dismount from nesting females into each new blood cell and rapidly transform through non-mobile tritonymphs to males and females. Female mites oviposit on the ceiling of the cell during the host larva's early instars, producing hundreds of larvae and then protonymphs by the time the host larva has completed feeding. Large numbers of mites (nearly 300) develop in each host cell, with no obvious deleterious effects on the developing bee. Larvae and protonymphs aggregate on the host bee larva, possibly to avoid being ingested, and perhaps feeding only on pollen adhering to the lateral surfaces and mouthparts of the bee larva, probably this feeding activity helps the developing bee to keep its integument clean and pathogen free. The mites also convert the pasty feces to a firmer, drier state, which makes it less prone to fungal growth. Non-deutonymphal stages feed upon pollen, host larval feces, and an amorphous substance that may originate from the bee larva's surface or from its feces (after Houston, 1987).

Ceratina and
Xylocopa (Apidae). Sometimes monophyletic groups of mites occur on monophyletic groups of hosts, indicating their close biological relationships and possible codivergence. Host associations of major groups of
Sennertia are recorded here.
The majority of
Sennertia disperse as heteromorphic deutonymphs on adult bees, however the
Sennertia vaga group does not form deutonymphs and disperses as feeding instars. Reproduction and feeding also probably occur during dispersal.
The interactions of
Sennertia with their hosts remain largely unknown. There are conflicting accounts suggesting either negative or neutral effect of the mite presence. In the former case, the damage to developing bees was marginal and always substantially lesser than that of
Chaetodactylus. Some species (
Sennertia sayutara,
Sennertia devincta) are phoretic inside special pouches (acarinaria) on the body of certain
Ceratina, suggesting mutualistic relationships. Unfortunately, the biology of such species has not been studied. Several species, such as,
Sennertia koptorthosomae, have special
pouches filled with fungal spores (sporothecae) on the hysterosoma (Klimov & OConnor, 2008), suggesting that they may transfer fungi from one bee nest to another.

Sennertia alfkeni and
S. japonica, but it was later shown that these two are genetically the same (Kawazoe
et al., 2008) and morphological differences between them are probably continuous and size-dependant (Zachvatkin, 1941; Okabe and Makino, 2008).
Phoretic deutonymphs of the
alfkeni-type attach themselves to the dorsoalateral hairs, while those of the
japonica-type were common in the mesosomal and metasomal acarinaria of the host. The deutonymphs of both groups display allometric differences. The
alfkeni-type deutonymphs are larger (311.8±36.9 μm), with the claw measuring 50.5±8.2 μm, and the ambulacra with a projection, whereas
japonica-type deutonymphs are smaller (232.0±18.5 μm), with the claw size 14.7±2.2 μm, and lacking ambulacral projection (Okabe and Makino, 2002; Okabe
et al., 2008; Kawazoe
et al., 2008). The ambulacral projection found in
alfkeni-type deutonymphs apparently aids in the attachment to the host’s hair. In contrast, deutonymphs of the
japonica-type do not attach to hairs and are phoretic inside acarinaria, specialized internal structures on the host body serving for mite transfer.
Adults also expressed variation in the form of the dorsal setae, ranging from narrow to broad (Okabe
et al., 2008).

et al. 1987). At the time these collections were made in early August, adult
Xylocopa virginica were emerging from the nests, and most cells were already empty. A few cells contained pharate or teneral adult bees. Some cells contained large provision masses consisting of nectar and pollen, but no developing bee larvae. All instars of
Sennertia americana were located on the walls of these cells. The cells were also inhabited by
Horstia virginica Baker, 1962 (Acaridae) and
Tortonia quadridens Baker, 1962 (Suidasiidae). Since the two latter mite species are cleptoparasitic the ultimate cause of cell failure is uncertain.

The original description (Trägårdh, 1907) provides a brief description of phoretic deutonymph (number of studied specimens not specified, presumably one). The author also speculates that "
Trichotarsus antarcticus " may be the deutonymphal stage of supralittoral mites of the genus
Hyadesia. This insufficiently described taxon is similar to several African species belonging to the
cerambycina-group of the genus
Sennertia. The geographic locality is, most likely, erroneous because carpenter bees, the only hosts of
Sennertia, do not occur in Antarctica

Xylocopa (see below), feeding on the provisioned pollen in the bee nest. Rarely dead bee eggs and larvae can be found in the infested cells. However, it is unclear if the mite presence causes the death or the mite can kill the bee eggs or larvae directly (Vicidomini, 1996).
Adult bees of
Xylocopa violacea extensively infested with
S. cerambycina show slow flight, lack of precision in flying trajectories, difficult and imprecise landing, heavy take-off, and reduced feeding rates (Vicidomini, 1999). Phoretic mites may block the epinotal spiracles, causing asphyxia in the bee host (Vicidomini, 1999).
Duchemin (1886) reports death of 30 honeybee hives in France attributable to this mite. The mite infests honeybees visiting sunflowers, eventually causing death of colonies. Similar cases (e. g., death of honeybee colonies with the introduction of sunflower) were reported in Russia at the end of 19th - beginning of 20th century (reviewed Grobov, 1978). Experimental data suggesting that the mite is responsible for the death of bees are, however, absent.

horrida-group). Setae
f2 situated lateral to hysterosomal shield (on hysterosomal shield in
S. horrida and
S. madagascarensis, variabale in
S. potanini). Tarsal setae
ra I-II spiniform, massive (filiform in
S. madagascarensis , blade-like in
S. horrida and
S. potanini). Setae
vF II widened and flattened (nearly filiform in all other species of the
horrida-group). The new species is closely related to
Sennertia ratiocinator sp. nov. but differs by the thinner setae
1a and longer setae
si,
se,
cp, and
e2 (Table
3). None of the measurements alone can be used for complete discrimination between the two species. The sum of the ratios, width of
1a/width of
se and length of idiosoma/length of
si is 2.7-3.3 (3.0±0.15, n=54), whereas in
S. ratiocinator, it is 3.8-4.9 (4.2±0.25, n=36). A canonical variates analysis based on these four, size-corrected (Darroch and Mosimann 1985), variables resulted in 100% classification accuracy (not reported here).

Notes. Similar to
Sennertia faini Baker and Delfinado-Baker, 1983 (see key to species). See also notes below.
We constructed CVA models for
S. lucrosa (n=72, all known localities and hosts) and
Sennertia faini (n=6, type series). The models including 2-10 log-transformed Darroch and Mosimann shape variables separate the two with 100% accuracy in both analysis and jackknife cross-validation. Ratios created by using raw variables with the highest and the lowest correlation with the canonical function allow for almost complete bivariate discrimination (see key to species above).
Sennertia faini is only known from the type series collected from the honey bee from Guatemala. We do not have any mites similar to either
S. lucrosa or
S. faini s. str. from Central America, so the relationships between the two morphospecies and possible host effect in
S. faini cannot be determined. However, the distribution of
Xylocopa guatemalensis and the occurrence of
S. lucrosa on this host in central Mexico might indicate that the differences of
S. faini and
S. lucrosa are influenced by host effect of the former, and therefore both belong to the same species.
Correlation of heteromorphic deutonymphs and feeding instars is based on the sharing of the same host species and relative abundance of
S. lucrosa deutonymphs.

Although the monophyly of
Sennertia is well supported (Klimov & OConnor, 2008), the internal relationships among different lineages and, especially their early divergence, are not clear.
Sennertia zhelochovtsevi represents a mixture of advanced (the shape of hysterosomal shield) and plesiomorphic characters (relative length of
si and
c1), and the latter indicate its early divergence. Several characters (length of setae
c1 and the reduction of hysterosomal sclerotization) suggest its possible sister-group relationship with the New World clades associated with
Xylocopa.
With the extremely conservative and variable morphology in several distant lineages, the question about the monophyly of some
Ceratina and
Xylocopa associated lineages remains unsolved. The high rate of convergent morphological changes probably occurred because of correlated increase of the lengths of setae situated off the hysterosomal shield following its reduction. A preliminary phylogenetic analysis of several putative groups is given by Klimov and OConnor (2008).
Different groups of
Sennertia phoretic deutonymphs are diagnosed in the following key (excludes the
vaga-group, which is based on adults only):

si,
se,

e2 (Table 3). None of the measurements alone can be used for a complete discrimination between the two species. The sum of ratios width of
1a/width of
se and length of idiosoma/length of
si is it is 3.8-4.9 (4.2±0.25, n=36), whereas in
S. lauta it is 2.7-3.3 (3.0±0.15, n=54). A canonical variates analysis based on these four, size-corrected, variables resulted in 100% classification accuracy (not reported here).

Phoretic and immobile deutonymph unknown, probably absent (see notes).
Adult. Supracoxal seta
scx situated outside supracoxal sclerite, lateral to outer ridge of supracoxal sclerite. Alveoli of setae
ve present. Dorsal idiosomal cuticle uniformly striate (striae may be with small tubercles). Dorsal cuticular pattern more or less uniform. Dorsal idiosomal setae
c1-
h1 filiform and long, reaching at least half of distance to next posterior pair of setae). Dorsal idiosomal setae
cp,
c3,
h3 narrowing distally, not compressed dorso-ventrally, usually evenly barbed. Dorsal setae
e2 and
f2 filiform, nearly as long as
h3. Prodorsal shield subquadrate, length/width 0.8-1.4. Prodorsal shield without falsifoveate pattern. Coxal fields III closed. Proximal acetabular extensions of
ap' I partially border antiaxial margins of coxal fields I. Proximal acetabular extensions of
ap' II partially border antiaxial margins of coxal fields II. Distal acetabular extensions of
ap' II and
ap'' II separate. Proximal acetabular extensions of
ap' III partially border antiaxial margins of coxal fields III. Distal acetabular extensions of
ap' III and
ap'' III separate or not developed. Proximal acetabular extensions of
ap' IV partially border antiaxial margins of coxal fields IV. Distal acetabular extensions of
ap' IV and
ap'' IV separate or not developed. Opisthosomal gland openings distinctly anterior to setae
e2.
Tarsal setae ra and la II absent. Solenidion ω
2 I intermediate between subapical and submedial. Famulus ε lanceolate. Setae
ba I as long as famulus ε or shorter. Setae
ba II as long as famulus ε or shorter.
Female. Setae
ad1 and
ad2 present. Setae
ps3 short, distinctly shorter than
ps2; posterior to
4a level. External copulatory tube present. Setae
h3 anterior to
h2. Posterio-medial part of dorsal opisthosoma without distinct longitudinal linear pattern.
Male. Setae
ad1 present. Genital setae spiniform; slightly (about on their diameter at base) anterior to progenital fold. Pseudanal setae
ps3 outside progenital sclerites, filiform. Dorsal supporting sclerites short, as long as 2 diameters of aedeagus at base or shorter. Setae
q I and
p II present. Pretarsal suckers IV same as pretarsal suckers I-III.
Protonymph. Tarsal setae
e IV absent;
f IV present.
Larva. Proportional length of dorsal idiosomal setae as in other instars.
Notes. This species probably does not form phoretic deutonymphs. In the southern Nearctic, it is associated with hosts that also harbor
S. lucrosa and
S. shimanukii and sometimes may be found with the former on the same bee specimen. A single pharate tritonymph of
S. lucrosa (BMOC 05-0420-076) is substantially distinct from tritonymphs of
S. vaga in having
la and
ra II developed and coxal fields III opened. Feeding instars of
S. augustii (deutonymphs virtually undistinguishable from
S. shimanukii) also have opened coxal fields III. The same situation was also detected for some Neotropic
Centris that have phoretic feeding instars of a similar species and heteromorphic deutonymphs of
Centriacarus turbator.

Trigona amalthea (Apidae: Meliponini) in Columbia (Vitzthum, 1930). Krantz (1998) reported five additional undescribed species from Brazil and Panama. We have seen an undescribed species from a nest of
Lestrimelitta limao (Smith) from Panama. Individuals of this bee species rob nests of other bees, especially species of the genera
Plebeia, Nannotrigona, more rarely
Melipona, Scaptotrigona, and
Trigona (Michener, 2000). The biology is almost unknown. Salt (1929) reported his observations on
Trigonholaspis associated with
Trigona amalthea (probably more than one species): "Mites are present on the comb in large numbers, as many as five or six together on the top of a single cell. In one or two cases I have seen these mites inside closed cells. On breaking open one cell in particular I found a bee pupa, its eyes only faintly colored, with a brown mite attached to it under the thorax apparently to the left middle leg; the mite was conspicuous as soon as the cell was opened. Mites are only rarely to be found on the pollen-and honey-pots, but on the comb are very numerous."

Perhaps beetles become infested by mites dispersing from bees or wasps nesting in the same soil. The dispersing stage is the adult female. The female has a pair of internal sacs between legs III and IV that are termed sporothecae. Sporothecae contain fungal spores which are transferred by the mite to provisioned cells of ground nesting bees. So far the mite is known from the nests of bees of the genera of
Calliopsis,
Nomia,
Halictus, and
Anthemurgus. The bee egg or young larva dies in the infested cell as a result of development of the fungus and mites. Eggs are laid instead of being retained within the physogastric mother. These hatch into inactive larvae, which molt to males and females. The new generation of mites develops upon the fungal mycelium. The female is the only stage that feeds (Cross and Bohart, 1979; Lindquist, 1986; Neff and Rozen, 1995).

Probably many species are unspecialized feeders. Tydeidae live in soil, humus, litter, moss, lichens, fungi, grass, on trees (in bark, on leaves and fruits), straw and hay, in stored products, and nests of birds, mammals, and stingless bees (Meliponini). Several species are of medical, veterinary, and agricultural importance.
Tydeus molestus Moniez, 1889 has been recorded as causing itching and irritation of the skin of man and domestic animals.
Tydeus interruptus Thor, 1932 was found in hay from Icelandic sheep pastures, and together with other mite species may represent a self-sustaining reservoir for scrapie-like agents.
Tydeus californicus (Banks, 1904) and
Lorryia formosa Cooreman, 1958 have been observed to cause damage to citrus. However, the last species is considered to be beneficial as it feeds on various fungi in citrus groves. (Kazmierski, 1998a; Krantz, 1978).
André (1980a, 1980b) listed 42 genera of the family, while Zhang at al., 2011 - 30 genera and 340 species. Kazmierski (1998a) gives a key to 21 genera and 254 species of the subfamily Tydeinae.
Many species of this family are known in associations with bees, although the exact nature of mite-bee interactions is unknown in these cases, but one species was speculated to be a beneficial fungus feeder in the host's nest. Two genera,
Melissotydeus André and
Proctotydaeus Berlese, were recorded from nests of stingless bees in Brazil. Unidentified species of
Paralorryia and
Pronematus were collected from beehives in Iran and the Philippines, respectively (Mosaddegh, 1997; Malabanan and Corpuz-Raros, 1988).
Tydeus interruptus was found in bumblebee nests in New Zealand (Macfarlane, 2005),
Tydeus xylocopae in the nest of a large carpenter bee in Indonesia (Oudemans, 1926), while unidentified species of
Tydeus were repeatedly collected in beehives throughout the world (Chmielewski 1971, Haragsim et al. 1978, Homann 1933, Kamali et al. 2001, Malabanan and Corpuz-Raros 1998). Finally, a tydeid mite unassigned to a genus was recorded in beehives in Poland (Chmielewski, 1991; de Jong, 1982).

Notes. There is no agreement over the year of the original description of
Tydeus Koch. Most workers agree that the first description of
Tydeus appeared in "Koch, C.L. Deutschlands Crustaceen, Myriapoden und Arachniden. Ein Beitrag zur deutschen Fauna, Heft 4 (=Heft 137)." The most recent treatment cites the year as 1836 (André, 2005), with a discussion on publication date of Heft 4 - either 1836 or 1837 and the warrant that the year can not be found on the author's personal reprint. Oudemans (1937) gives the same year for Heft 4. However, the Nomenclator Zoologicus online database indicates that Heft 4 had been published in 1837. Kaźmierski (1989) gives 1835 for
Tydeus Koch, without explicitly citing the original Koch's work or any further discussion on the matter.

Tydeus are moss inhabitants (Momen and Lundqvist 2005). Some species occur on tree foliage, stored products, vertebrate nests and beehives. They are omnivorous scavengers and can also prey on the smallest arthropods and their eggs (Kaźmierski 2009). Unidentified species of
Tydeus were repeatedly collected in beehives throughout the world (Chmielewski 1971, Haragsim et al. 1978, Homann 1933, Kamali et al. 2001, Malabanan and Corpuz-Raros 1998).
Tydeus interruptus was found in bumblebee nests in New Zealand (Macfarlane, 2005),
Tydeus xylocopae in the nest of a large carpenter bee in Indonesia (Oudemans, 1926).
The taxonomy of this genus is complicated, with many unrecognizable species described by earlier acarologists and the existence of several systematic treatments contradicting each other (André 2005). Major advances were made only recently, when re-examination of type species from Oudemans’ collection was made (André 2005).

Species of
Urozercon occur commonly in tropical termite nests and have been observed riding on termites and stealing food during trophallaxis (Silvestri, 1917; Eickwort, 1990).
Urozercon paradoxus Berlese, 1902,
Urozercon cuneiformis (Trägårdth, 1906),
Urozercon modestus Silvestri, 1917,
Urozercon robustisetus (Rosario and Hunter, 1988),
comb. n. (from
Myrmozercon),
Urozercon milleri (Halliday, 2006)
comb. n. (from
Uronyssus), and
Urozercon watsoni (Halliday, 2006)
comb. n. (from
Uronyssus) were found in nests of termites. Several species were described from meliponine and centridine bees normally constructing their nests in termitaria:
Urozercon melittophilus Silvestri, 1911 was found on the stingless bee
Partamona cupira (Smith, 1863) while
Urozercon angustatus Silvestri, 1911,
stat. n. (
Urozercon melittophilus var.
angustatus Silvestri, 1911) was found on
Centris thoracica (Hymenoptera: Apidae).
We collected a small series of
Urozercon sp. in a nest of
Scaura latitarsis (Friese, 1900) constructed inside a termite nest in Costa Rica (first record of
Urozercon for North America). Silvestri (1903) reported nests of several species of Meliponini, including
S. latitarsis, from nests of the termite
Nasutitermes brevioculatus (Holmgren, 1910), the host of the mite
Urozercon paradoxus.

Many species of the genus are habitat generalists living in dung, decaying seaweed, forest litter, poultry litter, moss, and nests of small mammals and birds. One species,
Vulgarogamasus sphecophilus (Cooreman, 1945), is restricted to the nests of wasps.
Vulgarogamasus pollinerus El-Banhawy et Nasr, 1984 has been previously known only from a bee hive in Ithaca, New York. We found this species on bumblebees and in their nests.
Vulgarogamasus cornutosimilis (Schweizer, 1949) (=
Parasitus cornutosimilis (Karg, 1985; Micherdzinski, 1969)) is a little-known species described from Switzerland from
Bombus terrestris and then recorded from Romania (forest litter) (Stănescu and Gwiazdowicz, 2004). Its two-pronged tectum resembles that of
V. pollinerus. Finally,
Vulgarogamasus aff. kraepelini was reported from honeybees in the Czech Republic (Haragsim et al., 1978)
