Opilioacaridae, with 11 genera and 35 species and Neothyridae, with 3 genera with 4 species are poorly known groups of mites, rare in collections and with most studies focusing on descriptions, and few of them focused on biological aspects, with no phylogenetic hypotheses to their species. The purpose of this project is to perform a taxonomic revision of the species of these families, ide…
Opilioacarida is a taxon consisting in a single family, Opilioacaridae, and the 35 taxons are currently placed in eleven genera. The genera is restricted to american continent, presenting 10 species in this region. In the South America, there are only two records of this genera, Neocarus platensis (Silvestri) (Argentina, Uruguai and south of Brasil) and Neocarus ojastii Lehtinen (Venezuel…
Currently, Opilioacaridae species of Old World and Neothyridae do not have enough useful descriptions for proper identification or phylogenetic studies. For this, suitable redescriptions become necessary. Despite the age of publication of such species, there are no specialists reviewing this type material even being available in the collections of European institutions. The types will be …
