Specimens of Neocarus proteus
Opilioacaridae is the sole family of mites in the order Opilioacarida , made up of about 13 genera.[2] [3] [1] The mites of this family are rare, large (1.5 to 2.5 mm ) mites, and are widely considered primitive , as they retain six pairs of eyes , and abdominal segmentation.[4] They have historically been considered separate from other mites belonging to Acariformes and Parasitiformes , but are now generally considered a subgroup of Parasitiformes based on molecular phylogenetics .[5]
The first member of the Opilioacarida to be discovered was the Algerian species Opilioacarus segmentatus , which was described by Carl Johannes With in 1902, followed by the Sicilian Eucarus italicus and Eucarus arabicus from Aden , both in 1904.[6] Two fossil specimens are known, one of which was discovered in Baltic amber from the Eocene ,[7] while the other one was discovered in the Burmese amber from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian ) around 99 million years old, tentatively assigned to the living genus Opilioacarus .[8]
Members of the group live in semi-arid and tropical environments in leaf-litter , under rocks and in caves. Their diet is known to include arthropod carcasses, fungal spores, and pollen.[9]
