Remarks. Berlese (1892, 1916a) considered Seius echinatusC. L. Koch, 1839 to be identical to Seius hirsutusC. L. Koch, 1839. Later, Vitzthum (1942)stated that these two species are synonymous with Acarus corbiculaSowerby, 1806. Moreover, Vitzthum (1942)added another species under the synonymy with A. corbicula, namely Seius muricatusC. L. Koch, 1839, but his interpretation is not accepted in this paper because S. muricatusis the type species of AceoseiusSellnick, 1941 (now relegated into synonymy with LasioseiusBerlese, 1916). The dorsal shield of Ameroseius corbiculuswas illustrated by Westerboer and Bernhard (1963)as having 30 pairs of quite slim setae instead of 29 pairs of apparently stout and robust setae. In addition, Karg (1971a)erroneously illustrated a male specimen of this species with six instead of five pairs of opisthogastric setae (see his page 15). These facts could lead to misinterpretation of the morphological characters resulting in an incorrect identification of this easily recognizable species. I have examined three type specimens of Ameroseius norvegicus, a species decribed by Narita et al. (2015)from Norway. However, the slide labelled "Holotype"contains two individuals. They are both females, and are clearly conspecific, in a perfect agreement with the primary description and original illustrations. I here designate as lectotype the specimen nearer to the left-hand edge of the slide when the labels are in the upright position. I have ringed this specimen with black ink and labelled the slide with the words "Lectotype ringed". There is no doubt that these type specimens from Norway are conspecific with those widely distributed in Slovakia and other European countries (including those from Asia, Iran), and known under the name Ameroseius corbiculus. Narita et al. (2015)added complete leg chaetotaxy to the description of A. norvegicus. According to their original data, genu I and femur IV would have respectively 11 and 5 setae, but in the type specimens I found typical 12 and 6 setae instead (including two anterolateral setae on genu I, and a ventral seta on femur IV). I have not examined type specimens of Ameroseius corbiculus(no type material exists for this species), Ameroseius crassisetosusand Ameroseius qinghaiensis, but the distinctions made in the original descriptions are based on characteristics that vary considerably, and I do not hesitate to propose the above synonymy.
