The marine littoral acarofauna is of interest both in relation to the history of seas and as biological indicators of water quality, but it remains poorly studied. For the first time, we characterize the molecular genetic variability of four widespread, common and abundant species of littoral mesostigmatic mites: Phorytocarpais kempersi, Parasitidae; Halolaelaps celticus and Halolaelaps orientalis, Halolaelapidae; and Thinoseius spinosus, Eviphididae. Based on the nucleotide sequence analysis of
