Sam Bolton and Hans Klompen recently published a paper entitled, Morphological support for a clade comprising two vermiform mite lineages: Eriophyoidea (Acariformes) and Nematalycidae (Acariformes). See citation below.

This article was also featured heavily in an editorial in the same journal, and Sam wrote a commentary in Entomology Today. He effectively united a huge lineage of plant parasites with a tiny lineages of deep soil mites to create what probably should be a new order or suborder of mites.
