Mesostigmata are a suborder of mites which are primarily characterized by their large stigmas, which preform numerous functions for the mites as both a function of the respiratory system and to capture and kill their prey. Mesostigmatic mites are the most prominent of all Acari, comprising up to 25% of the total mite population. Due to the large size of thier stigma and other mouthparts, they can often be mistaken for their relative the tick.
