The Astigmatina are a "cohort" of mites.
Astigmata used to belong to the Sarcoptiformes, which contain the "biting" Acariformes. Many species are parasites of vertebrates. Most notorious among these are the Psoroptidia, which contain such notable taxa as feather mites and Sarcoptes scabiei. Now it is one of the three hyporders of Desmonomata,[1] which in turn become an infraorder of Oribatida.
Taxonomy
The hyporder contains 11 superfamilies[1] with over thousands of genera[2] as follows:
