Marginura
Genus of mites
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marginura is a genus of mites in the family Oplitidae. It was named by Max Sellnick in 1926, and the type species is M. adhaerens.[1][2] In 1999, a fossil brittle star was given the same generic name, but because this name was preoccupied by the mite, the brittle star was renamed as Marginix in 2015.[3][4]
