Poecilochirus mites (family Parasitidae)
Look on page 597 of Marshall's book (1).
I have a couple pictures of these phoretic mites too, but am not sure how to arange the classification in the guide.

You said it!!
I don't know how to arrange the classification either. According to Marshall, Acari should be a subclass and the superorders Parasitiformes and Acariformes should be below it. I've left comments and hope someone either debunks Marshall or has a simple way of moving all those images around in a reorganization of that section.
