Subfamily: Phyllocoptinae Nalepa, 1892
Diagnosis. Phyllocoptinae was established by Nalepa (1892) and is characterized by following characters: body fusiform; gnathosoma relatively smaller than in other families compared with the body, projecting obliquely downwards; prodorsal shield with frontal lobe; scapular setae present or absent; division of legs normal; opisthosoma with broad dorsal annuli and narrow ventral annuli.
Five tribes are included in the Phyllocoptinae : Acaricalini Amrine & Stasny, 1994 , Calacarini Amrine & Stasny, 1994 , Tegonotini Bagdasarian, 1978 , Phyllocoptini Nalepa, 1892 , Anthocoptini Amrine & Stasny, 1994 . The mites described here belong to three tribes: Anthocoptini , Acaricalini and Tegonotini .
Anthocoptini Amrine & Stasny, 1994 . Dorsal annuli lacking latral extensions; prodorsal shield with scapular setae on or near margin; setae usually directed divergently posteriaed; scapular setae with tubercles either cylindrical or rounded, or with basal axes transverse.
Acaricalini Amrine & Stasny, 1994 . With divided empodium.
Tegonotini Bagdasarian, 1978 . Prodorsal shield with prominent scapular setae; dorsal annuli with laterally extended lobes or pointed projections from all or some of the annuli, or from a lateral anterior opisthosomal expension.
