Popis: Studies of sensory organs in ticks and mites of the order Parasitiformes by methods of electron microscopy and electrophysiology started in Russia in the middle of the 1970s due to the activity of Prof. Balashov and with his personal participation. A review of the data accumulated since that time allowed tracing the main evolutionary trends in the morphology of the main composite sensory organs (palpal and tarsal organs of mites, Haller’s organ of ticks, and eyes). Close association between the evolution of questing behavior and the evolution of sensory organs is demonstrated.
