In the Berlese Collection the following slides are present: 24/28 (type material), and 24/29. The specimens have been collected in Florence; they are identical with those from Hungary, described by Oudemans as Lesseria szanisloi . The larva of the species was partially described and figured by Grandjean (1946, p. 63, figs. 1, 2).
Oudemans (1915a, p. 232) gives the name Phthiracarus szanisloi to Hoplophora arctata Szanislo , 1880 (non Riley, 1874); later, he described a species from Hungary (identical with Epilohmannia cylindrica ) as Lesseria szanisloi . I remark that Riley (1874) described a Phthiracaroid mite of uncertain identity from America, whilst Szanislo (1880) described two different species, a Phthiracaroid and a Perlohmannoid mite, both of uncertain identity, from Hungary. Phthiracarus szanisloi Oudemans (1915a) must therefore be regarded as a nomen dubium, Lesseria szanisloi (Oudemans, 1917a) as a synonym of Epilohmannia cylindrica .
