Black Turpentine Beetle - Dendroctonus terebrans

Black Turpentine Beetle - Dendroctonus terebrans
Marlton, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
April 7, 2010
Size: Maybe around 7 mm?
This is a Dendroctonus terebrans (Black Turpentine Beetle) with Uropodidae mites underneath like this one. However, this question is about the mite on the leg. Is it another stage (adult?) of Uropodidae or is it something different, like Poecilochirus or something? Came to the light at night, measurement is for the beetle.

Hi John
It looks like you may have two kinds of phoretic mites there! Nice! Luckily a mite specialist will know more.
