Guntheria (Phyllacarus) mohri ( Womersley, 1952) View in CoL

Schoengastia (Ascoschoengastia) mohri Womersley, 1952: 184 , pl. 46 (A–C).

Euschoengastia mohri: Radford 1954: 265 ; Audy 1957: 258; Womersley & Audy 1957: 277.

Guntherana (Domrowana) mohri: Vercammen-Grandjean & Langston 1971b: 67 , pl. 30.

Guntheria (Domrowana) mohri: Goff 1980: 59 View in CoL , fig. 15.

Type deposition. SAM .

Type data. Ex Echymipera kalubu kalubu (syn. Echymipera doreyana ), Dutch New Guinea ( Indonesia, West Papua Province), Sansapor.

Hosts. RODENTIA : Rattus exulans ; PERAMELEMORPHIA : Echymipera kalubu kalubu .

Distribution. Indonesia.

Remarks. This species was synonymized with Neoschoengastia perameles Womersley, 1939 by Domrow, 1960. The last revision of Australian chiggers ( Domrow & Lester 1985) included Guntheria (Phyllacarus) perameles , but this synonym was omitted. Since the discrimination between G. mohri and G. perameles provided by Vercammen-Grandjean & Langston (1971) and Goff (1980) seems grounded, I retain here the former as a separate species.
