Type species: Rhodacarus denticulatus Berlese, 1920 , by original designation.

Diagnosis (adult female). Species of Multidentorhodacarus are characterised by the relatively large number of teeth (more than eight) on the fixed cheliceral digit; arthrodial process of chelicera shaped as a coronet-like fringe; setae j1, j2, z1 and s1 along anterior margin of podonotal shield; V-shaped line immediately behind j 4 and s 2; three scleronoduli near j5; presternal shields absent; and basitarsus IV with three setae (pl 4 absent).

Notes on the genus. Multidentorhodacarus was described as a subgenus of Rhodacarus by Shcherbak (1980), but the name was not made available because the type species of the subgenus was not fixed (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Article 13.3). The name only became available when Karg (2000b) published a redescription of Multidentorhodacarus , now at the genus level, fixing Rhodacarus denticulatus Berlese, 1920 as type species. The names of species described in the genus Multidentorhodacarus before 2000 are available, even though the genus name was not available at the time (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Article 11.9.3.1).
