Contrary to many authors, I think that to define a superfamily, a family, a genus, and then to establish the relationships between these different groups, we must have precise informations about the morphology of Acari, at every stasis: active (larvae, deutonymphs, adults) or inactive (prelarvae, protonymphs, tritonymphs). In this way, I could define the superfamily of Thrombidioidea, from author’s data, but especially by studying every stasis, thanks to breedings of several species of Thrombidions. ER -
