Kumar et al. |
A mite. Originally described as a species of Acarus; Sidorchuk (2018) considered it more likely to be a misidentified immature nothrine oribatid mite (probably a member of the family Nothridae), and more likely to be a contaminant from the extant soil fauna rather than a genuine Paleozoic fossil.[2] |
