Steganacarus clavigerus

van der Hammen, L., 1959, Berlese's Primitive Oribatid Mites, Zoologische Verhandelingen 40, pp. 1-93 : 44

Steganacarus clavigerus (Berlese, 1904)

Hoploderma clavigerum Berlese , 1904a, p. 27.S; 1913, p. 104, pl. 8 fig. 104.

Phthiracarus clavigerus , Lombardini, 1936, p. 47.

In the Berlese Collection the following slides are present: 141/5, 8 from the "Gardino di Boboli", Florcnce; and 141/9 from Pisa. The last-mentioned specimen is designated as type, although Berlese (1904a) mentioned "Boboli" as type-locality; I collected indeed topotypes in the "Gardino".

I do not know if Sellnick's (1928, p. 40) description of Hoploderma clavigera indeed represents the species; the same applies to Phthiracarus lutulentus Sellnick (1920, p. 37).
