Phthiracarus subglobosus Berlese View in CoL , 1923

Phthiracarus subglobosus Berlese , 1923, p. 259.

The type of P. subglobosus (slide no. 207/1) is still present in the Berlese Collection, together with another slide (no. 207/3) that possibly contains a different species. The specimens in both slides originate from Vallombrosa. Berlese recorded the species from "Italia, Germania, Norvegia". Sellnick (1931, p. 695) mentions the species in his list of mites from the Ionian Islands.

P. subglobosus is a species of remarkable length, which Berlese compares with nitens Nicolet and meridionalis (author unknown). Possibly the measurements and the few other details mentioned by Berlese are sufficient to recognize the species. I remark that "Germania" and "Norvegia" are uncertain records.
