Demodex
Demodex is a genus of tiny mites that live in or near hair follicles of mammals. Around 65 species of Demodex are known. Two species live on humans: Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, both frequently referred to as eyelash mites, alternatively face mites or skin mites.
Cheyletiella
Cheyletiella is a genus of mites that live on the skin surface of dogs, cats, and rabbits.
Tetranychus
Tetranychus is a genus of spider mite. Tetranychus is one of the most economically important genera of mites, due to its high potential to destroy agriculture. It contains 159 described species, the most significant of which is Tetranychus urticae.
Aceria
Aceria is a genus of mites belonging to the family Eriophyidae, the gall mites. These tiny animals are parasites of plants. Several species can cause blistering and galls, including erineum galls. A few are economically significant pests, while others are useful as agents of biological pest control of invasive plants such as rush skeletonweed (Chondrilla juncea), creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense), and field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis). There are over 900 species in the genus.
Eriophyes

The blue butterfly Celastrina serotina has been reported to feed on these galls and also on the mites, making it one of the uncommon carnivorous Lepidoptera.
Aculus
Aculus is a genus of mites, including the following species:
Adactylidium
Adactylidium is a genus of mites known for its unusual life cycle. An impregnated female mite feeds upon a single egg of a thrips, rapidly growing five to eight female offspring and one male in her body. The single male mite mates with all his sisters when they are still inside their mother. The new females, now impregnated, eat their way out of their mother's body so that they can emerge to find new thrips eggs, killing their mother in the process (though the mother may be only 4 days old at the time), starting the cycle again. The male emerges as well, but does not look for food or new mates
Pyemotes
Pyemotes is a genus of mites.
Acalitus
Acalitus is a genus of mites in the family Eriophyidae. These cosmopolitan, microscopic arthropods form galls on various plants, and some species such as Acalitus essigi and Acalitus vaccinii are pests of agricultural significance associated with berry crops. This genus includes, but is not limited to the following species:
Copidognathus
Copidognathus is a genus of mites in the family Halacaridae. Copidognathus is a large genus with over 380 accepted species.
Aculops

Bryobia
Bryobia is a genus of mites in the spider mite family, Tetranychidae. The taxonomy of the genus is difficult. The genus has been revised several times. It is difficult to distinguish these tiny species from each other on the basis of morphological characters, and there is little agreement on which characteristics are of importance. Also, species can be variable in morphology. Over 130 species have been described, but many of the names are likely synonyms.
Abacarus
Abacarus is a genus of acari, including the following species: Abacarus acutatus Sukhareva, 1985 Abacarus doctus Navia et al., 2011 Abacarus hystrix (Nalepa, 1896) Abacarus lolii Skoracka, 2009 Abacarus sacchari Channabasavanna, 1966
