Genus Procorticacarus K.O. Viets, 1978

Members of the genus Procorticacarus from Australia were initially described as a subgenus of Corticacarus Lundblad, 1936 . The subgenus Procorticacarus , to which all Australasian species belong, was raised to a full genus by Harvey (1998). The genus Procorticacarus is only known from the Australasian region, with 22 species reported from Australia (Harvey 1998, Smit 2001), and nine from New Guinea ( Wiles 1990, 1994).
