Glycyphagidae is a family of mites in the order Astigmata. There are more than 25 genera and 100 described species in Glycyphagidae.
The natural habitat of most species of this family is nests of rodents, insectivores, and opossums, although many now live among humans in stored food or housing.[1][2]
