Scorpion or mite, eg (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arachnid

This clue is a double definition.

'scorpion' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'mite eg' is the second definition.
(mite is a kind of arachnid)

(Other definitions for arachnid that I've seen before include "Mite or tick, for example" , "tick for one" , "Group including spiders and scorpions" , "Class of animals including spiders and scorpions" , "Animal class including spider, scorpion etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
