Pachydellus angulatipes

Description

Pachydellus angulatipes (Berlese, 1903)

Pachylaelaps angulatipes Berlese, 1903a: 245 (in part, female only). Type locality: Greece — Corfu.

Pachylaelaps angulatipes.— Castagnoli & Pegazzano, 1985: 18 (in part, female only).

Pachydellus angulatipes. Mašán, 2007a: 203.

Notes. There are four type specimens (two females, two males) of Pachydellus angulatipes in the Berlese Acaroteca, all barely adequate for reliable observation. According to Mašán (2007a), they belong to three different species: both males are identical with Pachydellus sculptus, while the female on slide № 10/43 resembles that of Pachydellus latior (Berlese, 1920), and the female on slide № 10/44 resembles that of Pachydellus tablasoti (Schweizer, 1961). Hirschmann & Krauss (1965) incorrectly synonymised Pachylaelaps anguletipes (sic) with Pachylaelaps furcifer, probably based on the fact that Oudemans (1902) also misidentified a male of Pachydellus sculptus, wrongly considering it to be Pachydellus furcifer.
