EUPHTHIRACARIDAE Jacot, 1930

In 1923 Jacot created a subfamily Tritiinae ; because the name Tritia is preoccupied, and because Jacot later considered the group a tribe, he replaced the name in 1930 (p. 214) by Euphthiracarini .

Grandjean (1954) distinguished the families Oribotriidae and Pseudotritiidae ; the last-mentioned family also contains the genus Euphthiracarus , so that the name Pseudotritiidae must be replaced by Euphthiracaridae .
