Catalogue of families and their type genera in the mite suborder Uropodina (Acari: Mesostigmata) Halliday, R. B. Zootaxa 2016 4061 4 347 366 623Y2 334649 Berlese, 1916 Berlese 1916 [151,465,356,382] Arachnida Dinychidae GBIF Animalia Mesostigmata 6 353 Arthropoda family   Typespecies  Dinychus Kramer, 1886: 255.  Notes.Most authors have attributed the name Dinychidaeto Vitzthum, 1931. However, Berlese (1916b)refers to the placement of his new genus  Metadinychusas "Ex Uropodidis, Dinychinis". Berlese's meaning here is ambiguous, but this could be interpreted to mean Family Uropodidae, Subfamily Dinychinae or Tribe Dinychini. Where Berlese describes other new genera in the same paper, the genus name is sometimes followed by the name of its family, for example "  ColeoscirusBerl.n. gen., Ex. fam. Bdellidae", but his typographical style is not consistent. Farrier & Hennessey (1993)interpreted the word "Dinychinis" as a family-group name, and I have followed that usage.
