Phthiracarus curtulus Berlese

Description

Phthiracarus curtulus Berlese, 1923

Phthiracarus curtulus Berlese, 1923, p. 259.

The original material from "Etruria" and Florida, referred to by Berlese, is still present in the Collection. Slides nos. 207/41, 42 from Florence represent one species, slide no. 207/45 (the type) from Florida another; Florida is therefore the type-locality.

Jacot (1933, p. 247) remarked already that the original description is not suited for identification, and probably even erroneous as to the sensillus. I have noted that the species is a Phthiracarus with very thin hairs of moderate length.
