Template:CountSpecies4

The template countes the number of species of Arachnida in the system which have been entered under the Arachnida (ticks + parasitic mites), but excludes the group Ixodida (ticks). The groups included are:

1. Astigmata (parasitic mites)
2. Mesostigmata (dust and parasitic mites)
3. Prostigmata (parasitic mites)

It uses the ask function to count the species in the individual groups and the parser function <#expr> to add up the results. New groups under the Arachnida (ticks + parasitic mites) need to be added to this template. Then the page Miscellaneous groups of Arachnida (mites) also needs to be changed.
