Hoplophthiracarus View in CoL Jacot, 1933

Hoplophthiracarus Jacot, 1933, p. 239.

According to Jacot (1933, p. 239) Hoplophthiracarus is recognizable by the following characters. The anal covers are not convex as in Steganacarus and Hoplophorella , but flattened and often retracted as in Phthiracarus . It differs f rom the last-mentioned genus by the prominent and erect interlamellar hairs.

Some species of the genus, among which Hoploderma histricinum (the type), strongly remind of Steganacarus because of the structure of the tegument. Possibly Hoplophthiracarus is only an artificial unit; in the present paper Hoplophora variolosa Berlese is also contributed to it.
