Review (by Malcolm Storey)

World species list (surprisingly long!), key to families of North American bee mites (very technical), keys to genera of selected families (and species of selected genera), species accounts for some groups including stacked photomicrographs.

Chaetodactylidae receives full treatment, but Parasitus and Parasitellus have only brief coverage.
