Abstract
Claparède organs occur in the larvae of acarine taxa which possess genital papillae in nymphal and adult stages. Although the presence of these organs in the Eupodoidea has been remarked upon previously by several authors, there have been no detailed descriptions or figures given. In this study, the occurrence of Claparède organs is confirmed in five genera of Eupodoidea, two for the first time. Scanning electron microscopy revealed details of their external morphology.
