Remarks

Although Sundevall (1833) proposed a family with the vernacular name Sarcoptides, most authors have attributed Sarcoptidae to Murray (1877) ( Sidorchuk and Klimov 2011), overlooking prior usage of Sarcoptidae in Berendt (1845), Anonymous (1846) and even Koch & Berendt (1854). As explained above, the recent assignment of the name Sarcoptidae to “ Berendt, 1845 ” (i.e. Anonymous 1846) by Sidorchuk & Klimov (2011) is incorrect. It should be noted that Sidorchuk & Klimov (2011) make a similar error when referring (in the synonymy of Sarcoptidae ) to another work by “Berendt, 1855”, which is a summary (Anonymous 1855) of Koch and Berendt (1854).

Because the family name has only infrequently been credited to Sundevall (1833), Sarcoptidae must be attributed to C.L. Koch in Berendt (1845) (Code, Article 11.7.2), and the same applies to coordinate names, of which Sarcoptoidea C.L. Koch in Berendt, 1845 and Sarcoptinae C.L. Koch in Berendt, 1845 are currently in use ( Klompen 1992).
