Type species: Protodinychus punctatus Evans, 1957 by original designation.
Distribution: Since the original description of Protodinychus ainscoughi Huţu & Călugăr 2002 , no new occurrence has been reported for this species. P. evansi Huţu & Călugăr 2002 has been found recently in other part of Transylvania, Romania ( Kontschán 2014). P. punctatus Evans, 1975 was collected several times after its description; Karg (1989) presented the species from Germany, Salmane & Spungis (2008) from Latvia, and Napierała & Błoszyk (2013) from Poland.
Habitats: The protodinycid mites usually occur in instable habitats ( Napierała & Błoszyk (2013), like debris ( Karg 1989, Lindquist et al. 2009) and washed ashore material from seacoast and riverside ( Salmane & Spungis 2008) ( P. punctatus ), in beaver lodge debris ( P. ainscoughi ), peat bog and leaf litter ( P. evansi ) ( Huţu & Călugăr 2002, Kontschán 2014).
