Halacarellus longus [nomen nudum] ( Figs. 8–14 , 19 )

Type series.ɹ1˂ NSMT-Ac 14699 (1/8076) and 1 ˁ NSMT-Ac 14700 (2/8077) on the slide in Fig. 8 ; 4 ˂ NSMT-Ac 14706–14709 (Nos.1, 5–7) on the slide in Fig. 19 .

Condition.ɹTypes on the slide in Fig. 8 : Each body part is visible in both specimens. The chaetotaxies of idiosoma, gnathosoma, palps, and legs are partly recognizable. Type ˂: Idiosoma length 475, width 245; gnathosoma length 175, width 105. Type ˁ: Idiosoma length 450, width 270; gnathosoma length 150, width 105.

Types on the slide in Fig. 19 : Among seven specimens on the slide, type specimens of Halacarellus longus are marked numbers 1, 5–7 on the coverslip. Each body part of these specimens is visible, and chaetotaxies of idiosoma, gnathosoma, palps, and legs are roughly recognizable. Type ˂: NSMT-Ac 14706 (No.1): Idiosoma length 510, width 290; gnathosoma length 170, width 120; NSMT-Ac 14707 (No.5): Idiosoma length 510, width 330; gnathosoma length 160, width 120; NSMT-Ac 14708 (No.6): Idiosoma length 475, width 170; gnathosoma length 140, width 110; NSMT-Ac 14709 (No.7): Idiosoma length 390, width 230; gnathosoma length 120, width 95.

Remarks.ɹThe specimen number given on the glass slide cannot be found in any publication of halacarid mites by Dr. Makarova. The species name is given as Halacarus longus on the glass slide. However, there is no halacarid mite given longus as a specific epithet. Dr. Makarova had not described this species. Further, based on the morphological characteristics, the specimens belong not to the genus Halacarus , but to Halacarellus .
