Treatment

Guntheria (Phyllacarus) bushlandi ( Philip, 1947) View in CoL , comb. nov.

Ascoschoengastia bushlandi Philip, 1947: 387 , figs. 1, 2; Goff 1989: 100.

Neoschoengastia bushlandi: Gunther 1952: 35 .

Euschoengastia bushlandi: Wharton and Fuller 1952: 74 ; Radford 1954: 264, fig. 92.

Guntherana (Guntherana) bushlandi: Vercammen-Grandjean 1965b: 114 .

Guntherana (Domrowana) bushlandi: Vercammen-Grandjean & Langston 1971b: 49 , pl. 20.

Type deposition. USNM .

Type data. Ex Megapodius sp., Dutch New Guinea ( Indonesia, West Papua Province), Owi Is. (adjacent to Biak, Schouten Group ) .

Hosts. RODENTIA : Melomys burtoni ; AVES: Megapodius sp.

Distribution. Australia, Indonesia.

Remarks. This species was synonymized with Neoschoengastia innisfailensis Womersley & Heaslip, 1943 by Womersley (1952), followed by Audy & Domrow (1957) and Domrow (1960c). The last revision of Australian chiggers ( Domrow & Lester 1985) included Guntheria (Phyllacarus) innisfailensis , but this synonym was omitted. Since the discrimination between G. bushlandi and G. innisfailensis provided by Vercammen-Grandjean & Langston (1971) seems grounded, I retain here the former as a separate species.
