Cheyletus malaccensis (predator) Oudemans, 1903
The mite is widely distributed in stored grains and other stores. It is a predator of pest mites and other small arthropods, and may be also cannibalistic. The development of females includes five stages: egg, larva, protonymph, deutonymph, and adult, but males do not have a deutonymph stage. Virgin females always produce males, whereas fertilized females produce both males and females.
