Extract

Life histories of the Trombidiidae, or, for that matter, other families of mites have, with few exceptions, not been studied and very little information is available as a guide. This is not entirely the fault of the acarologists, as not one of them was employed in any country of the world entirely upon the study of mites. Most of them, if official, were entomologists who could spend only a fraction of their time on mites. Their time was spent therefore on systematics, an essential branch of acarology.
