Five tribes are included in the Phyllocoptinae : Acaricalini Amrine & Stasny, 1994 , Calacarini Amrine & Stasny, 1994 , Tegonotini Bagdasarian, 1978 , Phyllocoptini Nalepa, 1892 , Anthocoptini Amrine & Stasny, 1994 . The mites described here belong to three tribes: Anthocoptini , Acaricalini and Tegonotini . Anthocoptini Amrine & Stasny, 1994 . Dorsal annuli lacking latral extensions; prodorsal shield with scapular setae on or near margin; setae usually directed divergently posteriaed; scapular setae with tubercles either cylindrical or rounded, or with basal axes transverse. Acaricalini Amrine & Stasny, 1994 . With divided empodium. Tegonotini Bagdasarian, 1978 .
