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

Schoengastia (Ascoschoengastia) crinita Womersley, 1952: 185 , pl. 46 (D–G).

Euschoengastia crinita: Radford 1954: 264 ; Audy 1957: 257; Womersley & Audy 1957: 276.

Guntherana (Domrowana) crinita: Vercammen-Grandjean & Langston 1971b: 66 , pl. 29; Goff 1980: 51, fig. 10.

Guntheria crinita: Goff & Easton 1989: 237 View in CoL .

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, Papua New Guinea.

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