Abstract
Nine genera of the family Podapolipidae are recognized: Bakerpolipus, Chrysomelobia, Dorsipes, Eutarsopolipus, Locustacarus, Podapolipoides, Podapolipus, Tarsopolipus, and Tetrapolipus. Keys to genera are provided for males and larviform females. Two species are recognized in the genus Locustacarus: L. trachealis Ewing and L. buchneri (Stammer). L. locustae Ewing and Podapolipus solitarius Lavoipierre are found to be junior synonyms of L. trachealis (New Synonymy). A key to separate larviform female, male and female specimens of L. trachealis and L. buchneri is given. Biology and ecology of the species are discussed.Keywords
