Varroa
Varroa is a genus of parasitic mesostigmatan mites associated with honey bees, originally placed into its own family, Varroidae, but later revised as a subfamily. The genus was named for Marcus Terentius Varro, a Roman scholar and beekeeper. The condition of a honeybee colony being infested with Varroa mites is called varroosis (also, incorrectly, varroatosis).

No true fossils are known, although there are some specimens in Colombian copal, of unknown (but likely relatively recent) age.
