Diagnosis: The body of these mites 

 is oval and there is no suture between 

 the propodosoma and the hystero- 

 soma. The skin is hard, smooth, and 

 shiny. The dorsal setae are smooth 

 and short (with the exception of the 

 setae scapulares internae in Fusaca- 

 rus) . A pair of vertical setae are pres- 

 ent. The chelicerae are normal, scis- 

 sor-shaped, or chelate. All tarsi have 

 caruncles and tarsal claws are in- 

 serted into the anterior or distal por- 

 tions of the caruncles. The female 

 genital opening lies between coxae 

 III and IV while the male genital open- 

 ing is between coxae i and ii.
