Oripodidae

Oripoda pinicola, from here.

Belongs within: Oripodoidea.

The Oripodidae are a group of oribatid mites with strongly truncate, usually three-clawed tarsi (Norton & Behan-Pelletier 2009). They exhibit a reduction in the number of genito-anal setae with most species having three or fewer pairs of genital setae (Balogh & Balogh 1992a).

Characters (from Norton & Behan-Pelletier 2009): Length 250-550 µm. Prodorsum not curved over gnathosoma, rostral tectum not completely covering chelicerae dorsally. Bothridium inserted lateroposteriorly, posterior to level of anterior notogastral margin. Octotaxic system with four pairs of saccules. Posterior notogastral tectum absent. 1-3 pairs of genital setae. Tarsi, particularly tarsus I, strongly truncate; pretarsi tridactylous.
