There are 130 described species of gamasaceae, but currently 52 genera are distinguished. Representatives from different taxa have been described, but it is worth considering that the taxonomic division and taxonomy of mites is still just taking its course. Some species have a specific symbiotic relationship with other organisms, and even parasitism and being in a different class. Ticks are distributed everywhere (about 7 thousand species have been noted at the moment) and consist of 6 orders, which also include spinots, madazids and four-legged ticks.
