Epilohmannia cylindrica
(Berlese, 1905)
Lohomannia cylindrica Berlese
, 1904, p. 23, pl. 2 fig. 40.
Lesseria
szanisloi
, Oudemans, 1917a, p. 78, figs. 127-139.
Epilohmannia cylindrica
, Lombardini, 1936, p. 40.
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
.
