Uropodidae (lat.) Is a family of soil mites from the infraorder of uropods (Uropodina) of the order Mesostigmata . From 260 to more than 600 species, depending on the accepted volume of the group. The family was isolated in 1881 by the German biologist P. Kramer ( Paul Kramer ; 1842-1898) [1] . Distributed around the world [2] .

Content
Small soil mites. (Tritosternum) is covered with coxae of the forelegs. The grooves for the legs are well developed. The marginal plate merges in front with the dorsal plate. Plates are mirror-smooth, even if they are more or less finely punctured. Presternal sets (setae) absent, epigenic plate also without set ( Uropodina ); lateral plates are absent [2] . Representatives of the myrmecophilic genera Antennequesoma , Coxequesoma , Planodiscus, and Trichocylliba ( Central and South America ) are associated with nomadic ants of the genera Labidus , Nomamyrmex, and Neivamyrmex [3] [4] [5] .
In a narrow volume includes 9 genera and 260 species. Broadly volume considering allocated to independent family genera Kaszabjbaloghia (Kaszabjbaloghiidae), Baloghjkaszabia (Baloghjkaszabiidae), Brasiluropoda (Brasiluropodidae), Hutufeideria (Hutufeideriidae), Rotundabaloghia (150 species, Rotundabaloghiidae), Trichocylliba (57 species, Trichocyllibidae), Tetrasejaspis (Tetrasejaspidae) etc., the group unites more than 600 species [1] .
