Los ácaros (Acari o Acarina, del griego akarés, diminuto, que no se corta) son una subclase de arácnidos, aunque durante mucho tiempo fueron considerados un orden. Existen casi 50.000 especies descritas, y se estima que existen entre 100.000 y 500.000 especies que todavía no han sido clasificadas. La mayoría de los ácaros son diminutos y alcanzan unos pocos milímetros de longitud; el ácaro de los folículos humanos mide solo 0,1 mm (menor que algunos protozoos) y los ácaros del polvo doméstico miden entre 0,2 y 0,5 mm; ambos son, pues, microscópicos; en el otro extremo, los ácaros de terciopelo alcanzan longitudes de 10 mm. 2, record 1, Spanish, - Acari
