中文摘要：

洼甲螨科隶属于蜱螨亚纲甲螨目懒甲螨总科，是低等甲螨中进化相对较高级，介于低等甲螨和高等甲螨之间的过渡类群，广泛分布于世界各大动物地理区，目前全世界有3属5亚属79种5亚种，国内现知2属16种。综述了洼甲螨科该科的分类沿革及分类研究进展；概述了洼甲螨科各属（亚属）的地理分布，指出该科目前所知分布较多的是古北界、新北界、东洋界；对中国洼甲螨科已知种进行了区系总结，目前青藏区和蒙新区各仅知1种，主要原因是缺乏深入研究；编制了洼甲螨科3个属及5个亚属和中国已知2属16种的分类检索表。

英文摘要：

Camisiidae belongs to the superfamily Nothridea in the order Oribatid, the subclass Acari, and is a lower oribatid group between those of the inferior oribatid and the higher oribatid. It is widely distributed in every zoogeographic region. Up to now, there are 79 known species and 5 subspecies in 3 genera with 5 subgenera in the world, and only 16 species belong to 2 genera known from China. This paper reviews the taxonomic history, current situation and progress of the family. Based on data for the zoogeographic distribution of genera and subgenera, it is noted that genera are majorly distributed in the Palaearctic, the Nearctic and the Oriental region. By the zoogeographic scheme of China, the Qingzang region and the Mengxin region each has only known one species because of a lack of research in the family. Keys to the 3 genera and 5 subgenera and to the known species from China are compiled in the present paper.
