Seventy-nine species were identified, belonging to the families Anystidae, Bdellidae, Cheyletidae, Cunaxidae, Diptilomiopidae, Eriophyidae, Eupalopsellidae, Eupodidae, Iolinidae, Meyerellidae, Nanorchestidae, Paratydeidae, Raphignathidae, Stigmaeidae, Tarsonemidae, Tenuipalpidae, Tetranychidae, Trombidiidae, Tuckerellidae e Tydeidae.
