Linopodes

Linopodes is a cosmopolitan genus of mites in the family Cocceupodidae. There are at least two described species.

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.

Species
These two species belong to the genus Linopodes: Data sources: i = ITIS, c = Catalogue of Life, g = GBIF, b = Bugguide.net
 * Linopodes ambustus C.L.Koch, 1838 g
 * Linopodes motatorius (Linnaeus, 1758) g

While 22 species in total have been described, recent DNA barcoding research has suggested that these are actually only seven, morphologically similar species.
