Crosse identified them as being part of genus acarus.

Also a unique Hydracarina acarus is said to have found its habitat outside the fence surrounding the lake.

Andrew Crosse's electrical experiment seems to produce strange insects, acarus calvanicus.

A local newspaper learned of the incident and published an article about the "extraordinary experiment" and named the insects Acarus crossii.

Baker's itch is a cutaneous reaction caused by bites of Acarus siro, the flour mite.

Acarus (mites & ticks)

During this research, he inoculated himself and family members with the insect to prove the itch and the disease from the Acarus were distinct from each other.

The flour mite, Acarus siro, a pest of stored grains, is one of many species of grain and flour mites.

In 1758, Carl Linnaeus described a single species Acarus batatas (now Trombicula batatas).

Tyrophagus putrescentiae was first described by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1781, under the name Acarus putrescentiae.

Lice include Dermacentor pictus, Ixodes ricinus, I. persulcatus, I. crenulatus and Acarus siro.

Pierre André Latreille split the new genus Ixodes from Linnaeus' Acarus (which at that time contained all known ticks and mites), and I. ricinus was chosen as the type species.

Synonyms include Phytocoptella avellanae, Eriophyes avellanae, Calycophthora avellanae, Phytoptus coryli, Phytoptus pseudogallarum, and Acarus pseudogallarum.

The scientific name of the castor bean tick dates back to the starting point of zoological nomenclature, the 1758 tenth edition of Carl Linnaeus' Systema Naturae, where it appeared as Acarus ricinus.

A 2010 SEM study found that Milbenkäse cheese was produced using Tyrolichus casei mites, while Mimolette cheese used Acarus siro mites (also known as flour mites).
