Abstract The honey bee mites, Acarapis woodi (Rennie), A. dorsalis Morgenthaler and A. externus Morgenthaler are redescribed and illustrated in detail; their morphology and biology as well as distribution are reviewed and discussed. Species may be identified by morphological as well as biological characteristics. A key to the identification of females is given. Acarapis woodi is restricted to the prothoracic thacheae of the adult bee hosts: Apis mellifera L., A. mellifera adansonii Latr. and A. cerana indica Fabr. Acarapis dorsalis and A. externus are found externally on A. mellifera, the former in the dorsal groove between the mesoscutum and mesoscutellum, the latter on the membranous area between the posterior region of the head and thorax and in the posterior tentorial pits. Acarapis vagans Schneider is relegated to a nomen dubium.
