Linopodes is a cosmopolitan[1] genus of mites in the family Cocceupodidae.[2][3][4] These are large mites with oval bodies, usually reddish, yellowish or brownish, and with an extremely long (up to six times longer than the idiosoma) and flimsy first pair of legs.[1]

Green colored Linopodes mites have been found a bit less frequently in North America.[5]

Habitat

Members of Linopodes are usually found in habitats such as forests, fields, meadows and the banks of ponds, occupying leaf litter, bark, and hiding places under stone. While common, they are not often observed; solitary habits and low densities contribute to this.[1]

There are many different colored species found in North America. It is unknown the full diversity of North American Linopodes due to the fact that they do not preserve well because of their small size.[6][7]
