Acarus “tick” < other Greek ἄκαρι ) is a genus of microscopic four-legged ticks from the family Eriophyidae ( Trombidiformes ) [2] . About 40 species, of which 20 are associated with cereal plants ( Poaceae ) [3] . It includes sugarcane pests ( Saccharum officinarum ) - (a species of Abacarus sacchari ) and other cultivated and wild plant species that transmit several viruses of the mosaic of meadow and pasture grasses [4] . The smallest representative of the arachnid class belongs to the genus: the species Abacarus hystrix , one of the smallest species of the arthropod type as a whole - their length is from 0.125 to 0.250 mm [5] .
