Phthiracarus rotundus Berlese, 1923

Phthiracarus rotundus Berlese, 1923, p. 259.

The present species, mentioned by Berlese from South and Central Italy, is represented in the Collection by two slides: no. 147/5 (type from Citta di Castello) and no. 147/6 (from Monte della Verna, Tuscany). The type-slide is in a bad condition, and I do not know if the specimens are conspecific. Nothing can therefore be added to Berlese's original diagnosis.
