Sarcoptiformes
The Sarcoptiformes are an order of mites comprising over 15,000 described species in around 230 families. Previously it was divided into two suborders, Oribatida and Astigmatina, but Oribatida has been promoted to an order, and Astigmatina is now an unranked taxon.

Eriophyoidea are a superfamily of herbivorous mites. All post-embryonic instars lack the third and fourth pairs of legs, and the respiratory system is also absent.
Sarcoptidae
The Sarcoptidae family of mites contains the genus Sarcoptes. Sarcoptic mange is caused by burrowing mites within this genus.
Psoroptidae
Psoroptidae is a family of parasitic mites, which are long and live on the surface of the skin, rather than burrowing into it. These mites affect various species, including cats, dogs, rabbits, cattle, sheep, and horses, causing skin inflammation, scabs, crusting, and hair loss.

Atopomelidae
Atopomelidae is a family of mites belonging to the order Sarcoptiformes. Parasites have been investigated for some New World primates; however, very little is known about ectoparasites and specifically fur mites. In this study, Alouatta palliata, Cebus capucinus, Saimiri oerstedii, and Ateles geoffroyi monkeys from different areas of Costa Rica were searched for fur mites. A total of 276 monkeys were evaluated, and 51 of them were positive for mites of the family Atopomelidae. Listrocarpus alouattae was identified on 22.3% of A. palliata; Listrocarpus capucinus on 12.8% of C. capucinus; and Li

Because of their parasitic lifestyle, members of the Psoroptidia do not exhibit a deutonymph stage.
