Table 1 in Sharp claws beneath our feet - the diversity of tarsal attachment devices of oribatid mites (Acari, Chelicerata, excluding Astigmata) - a review

Table 1. Number of tarsal claws (mono, bi- and tridactyly) occurring in all larger systematic groups of Oribatida. Roman numbers in bold indicate that this is the most frequent (>90%) form of dactyly in the respective taxon, other forms are present but rare and exceptional; * indicate that polydactyly (different number of claws among legs of single specimens) may occur, but these are clearly the minority in each group; () is based on an ambiguous report.
