It is in the genus Demodex (there may be many species, I'm not sure).
I don't know how close you are to a large library, but a medical
entomology book will have a picture of it.  I don't have a specific
reference, sorry.  I am close to a library; if there isn't one near
you, let me know, it would be a simple matter for me to go and get a
picture for you.
