Most of the content of this topic only refers to mites, and not to Acarina as a whole.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr Shorthair (talk • contribs) 05:21, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If ever suborders grow into large articles to split back, here are the taxoboxes (They are in histories as well, but here new people will see them better). `'mikka (t) 23:42, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've modified these to correct some incorrect ranks (i.e. Superfamilies) and to reflect more recent taxonomic schemes. DEW 5 November 2006
