Hoplophthiracarus histricinus View in CoL (Berlese, 1908)

Hoploderma histricinum 1) Berlese, 1908, p. 12: 1910, p. 217, pl. 20 fig. 54.

Hoplophthiracarus histricinum , Jacot, 1933, p. 240, pl. 20 figs. 14, 15.

Phthiracarus histricinus , Lombardini, 1936, p. 47.

Because Berlese (1908) mentioned "America boreale " as type-locality, Jacot (l.c., p. 241) supposed that the species had been collected at several localities. In the Berlese Collection two slides are present: 72/40 (type) and 208/28; both originate from Washington, which according to Jacot is Washington, D.C.

The specimens conform to the redescription by Jacot; they closely resemble species of Steganacarus , but the anal covers are retracted.

1) Probably a lapsus for hystricinum.
