Belongs within: Psoroptidia.

The Listrophoridae are a group of astigmatine mites found living on the hair of mammals which they grasp by means of a projecting tegmen (OConnor 2009).

Characters (from OConnor 2009): Propodosoma sclerotised in adults, hysterosoma may also bear sclerites. Gnathosoma covered dorsally by projecting tegmen. Striated flaps extending anteriorly and ventrally from coxal fields I. Tibiae-tarsi III–IV freely articulating. Males usually more sclerotised than females.
