Erythraeidae
The mite family Erythraeidae contains mainly predators that prey on other arthropods, see Erythraeidae (predators/ectoparasites). However, Balaustium medicagoense is an important pest of cereal, lupin, and canola crops as well as pastures in southern parts of Australia (but this species has been also reported to be a beneficial predator). In addition, the related species Balaustium murorum has been reported to occasionally invade building and biting humans, causing intense itching.
The following genera and individual species are currently entered in the system:
