Belongs within: Teinocoptinae.
Notoedres is a genus of scabies mites, divisible between the subgenera Notoedres (with bodies no higher than wide in the females) and Bakeracarus (with dorsoventrally elongate immatures and coxal apodemes I parallel but not fused in the females). All Bakeracarus and many Notoedres are parasites of bats. Some species of subgenus Notoedres within the clades containing N. cati and N. pahangi are parasites of rodents, primates or carnivorans whereas N. indicus is a parasite of the house shrew Suncus murinus. The type species N. cati is known from various carnivorans but is best known as a parasite of domestic cats on which it tends to infest the head and neck (Klompen 1992).
Characters (from Klompen 1992): Delay in addition of setae h2 to protonymph; setae ps1 and ps2 absent in all stages; male with genital apodemes present, setae kT III–IV thin spines or filiform.
