Gamasid mites • Very small (0.12 mm. long) to large (4 mm.) mites with a pair of stigmata openings above legs III-IV
Gamasid mites • Usually associated with a peritreme canalcoxa II
Gamasid mites • Flagellate tritosternum present
Gamasid mites • Sternal plate and genito-ventral plate present
Gamasid mites • The mouth organs are designed for biting or puncturing and sucking • The chelicerae have pincers or are needle-shaped
Gamasid mites • The mites breathe through trachea, which open through spiracles on the sides of the body • The body has many bristles, which are constant in number and position
