[1][2][3][4] This occurrence directly led to the unveiling of another new species, A. retweet, associated with marine habitats, also discovered through the same social media platform.

Notably, A. retweet displays striking sexual dimorphism, with females featuring relatively shorter legs and a prominently folded notogastral integument.

Moreover, a genetic analysis utilizing the 18S rRNA gene indicates a close association among all Ameronothrus species, forming a distinct monophyletic genus.

In a broader evolutionary context, Fortuyniidae and Selenoribatidae are identified as sister taxa with a monophyletic origin, while certain members of Ameronothridae are positioned in paraphyletic groups, supporting the idea of an independent evolution of the marine-associated lifestyle among ameronothroid mites.

These diminutive creatures find their niche in secluded corners, where they can flourish amidst the cool, damp conditions characteristic of their coastal abodes.
