Karakurt (2016) gave some of specimens as Rhinothrombium nemoricola in his PhD thesis and later this species was published as Eothrombium siculum due to the structure of the anterior part of the crista ( Karakurt, 2016 ; Karakurt and Sevsay, 2020 ). The members of Eothrombium separate from other postlarval of Rhinothrombium by the shape of the anterior part of crista. While end of anterior part of crista is bifurcate in Eothrombium , it is linear in Rhinothrombium . Also, naso is absent in Eothrombium while Rhinothrombium has naso. The knowledge of the systematics and biology of the group tanaupodids is still fragmentary, and is caused mainly by the rarity of occurrence of these mites, and the consequent limited material that has been published about them ( Mąkol and Featherstone, 2021 ). The number of individuals in two sexes is very low. As specimens number of both deutonymph and adult stages increases, the differences between them will be more understandable.
