The Eleutherengonides are a group of mites in which the chelicerae have the fixed digit reduced or absent, with the movable digit hook-like or stylet;like and inserted apically or subapically on the closely contiguous or fused cheliceral bases. A palpal thumb-claw process is commonly present and the solenidia on leg tarsus I, if present, are erect (Walter et al. 2009).

Myobiidae

Myobia murismusculi, copyright Daktaridudu.

Belongs within: Cheyletoidea.

The Myobiidae are a group of mites ectoparasitic on mammals, adapted for clinging to the hair of their host.

Characters (from Walter et al. 2009): Soft-bodied, dorsoventrally flattened mites with legs I with or without claws, shortened and modified for grasping hairs, immatures with ventral unpaired clasping organ on tarsus; legs II–IV with claws, but without empodia or tenent hairs; immatures with femora and genua fused on all legs; coxal seta 2a present; coxal fields vestigial. Prodorsum with four pairs of non-trichobothrial setae (vi, ve, si, se), idiosomatic shield and eyes absent. Chelicerae styliform, retractile within the gnathosomatic capsule, fused basally with each other and with the subcapitulum except at hypostomatic apex, remnant cheliceral seta (chb) or its alveolus present dorsally on capsule; palpi 2-segmented in adults, absent in immatures; gnathosoma of immatures proboscidiform. Female anal opening dorsal, separate from genital opening; male genito-anal opening dorsal, aedeagus typically elongate and generally directed forward. Dorsal lyrifissures (cupules) absent. With 5 active postembryonic instars: larva, protonymph, deutonymph, tritonymph, and adult.

Palpal femur with three setae, palpal genu with two setae not fused with femur, without protrusions or with small protrusions. Idiosoma ovate. Eyes absent. Shoulder-like projections of idiosoma absent. All idiosomal setae, excluding 15, not exceeding half of idiosomal length. Neotrichial setae absent. Length of all legs not exceeding idiosomal length. Legs IV normally developed. Tarsi thickened with knobs covering pretarsus. Guard seta of tarsus I hair-like, solenidion ω1 situated in apical half of tarsus I. Tibia I with solenidion. Tibia II without solenidion. Genu I with rod-like solenidion or globular. Seta v1 of tarsus I situated at same level as solenidion ω1 and guard seta. Pretarsus and well-developed claws present on all legs. Apical seta of tarsus I normally long. Tarsal setae p' and p" hair-like, but sometimes deeply dissected or feather-like. Coxae III with 2-1 setae. Trochanters III-IV with or without seta. Distance between coxae II and III less than half of the idiosomal width.
