Procurvata

Dorsum (left) and venter of Ereynetes meliponae, from OConnor & Klimov (2012).


Belongs within: Tydeoidea.
Contains: Pronematinae, Speleognathinae.

The Procurvata are a group of mites united by a procurved dehiscence line across the prodorsum (André & Fain 2000). It unites the Ereynetidae, which have two pairs of genital papillae, a characteristic deeply recessed solenidion in a sac-like structure on the first leg tarsus, and are often ornamented in a net-like pattern on the prodorsum and legs, and the Iolinidae, which have a single pair of genital papillae and usually have three or four elongated setae at the end of the tarsus. Within the Iolinidae, members of the subfamily Tydaeolinae lack an active tritonymphal instar (Walter et al. 2009).
