Supplement to the knowledge of ptyctimous mites (Acari, Oribatida) from Palaearctic Region

摘要

A list of over 400 new localities studied for ptyctimous mites within Palaearctic Region and a list of 96 identified species of ptyctimous mites of 20 genera are given. The species, knowledge of whose zoogeographical ranges was extended, have been pointed out. One new species, Phthiracarus pachys sp. nov. from Spain, is described. A few rare species have been diagnosed and their additional morphological data are given. The species from a few papers that have not been included in the monograph by Niedbala (2011) are commented on. The unjustified recombinations of species between certain genera (Subias 2004, updated in 2015) and unaccepted proposals on synonymy of some species by Subias & Shtanchaeva (2011) have been commented on.
