Endeostigmata are a small suborder in the order Sarcoptiformes, next to the more species rich suborder Oribatida (moss mites). Endeostigmatic mites often live in rather extreme environments like dry sandy areas, deep soil layers, seashore or microbial crusts. Their body form is either globular or elongate and wormlike. This first checklist for the Netherlands contains 12 species, seven of these are new for the fauna of the Netherlands.
