Introduction

The family Phthiracaridae is very large and cosmopolitan, and includes ten genera and more than 800 species world-wide (Schatz et al. 2011). Different authors have used different concepts of the genera in this family, but the classification used here is based on that of Subias (2011). The adults of these mites are common in leaf litter, where they feed on decaying plant material and fungi, and their immature stages are found in burrows in dead wood (Norton & Behan-Pelletier 2009). The Australian fauna includes nine genera and over 100 species, most of which were revised by Niedbała (2000, 2012). Incompletely identified species of Austrophthiracarus, Hoplophthiracarus, Notophthiracarus and Plonaphacarus were reported by Walter & Behan-Pelletier (1993), Colloff & Niedbala (1996), Osler (1997) and Colloff & Halliday (1998). These species have now been described and named in later papers. Incompletely identified species have also been reported by Springett (1976), Osler & Beattie (2001), Proctor et al. (2002), Callan et al. (2011) and Majer et al. (2013).

Notophthiracarus fulvus (Niedbała, 1985) was described from Papua New Guinea, correctly recorded from Papua New Guinea by Subias (2004, 2011), and incorrectly recorded from Australia by Balogh & Balogh (2002).

Niedbała & Liu (2018) incorrectly recorded Notophthiracarus dugdalei from Australia. This is a New Zealand endemic species.

Type data:
Holotype ANIC TAS-169 6 (including 5 paratypes), Simons Road, Tasmania [41°21′S, 147°31′E].

Introduction

Niedbała & Colloff (1997) spelled the name of this species as both perpropinquus and perpropinqus. The etymology states that the name is derived from the Latin word propinquus, so the spelling perpropinqus must be considered as a lapsus.

Introduction

According to Niedbała (1992), Austrophthiracarus radiatus Balogh & Mahunka sensu Balogh & Balogh (1983) is misidentified, and is not the same species as Austrophthiracarus radiatus Balogh & Mahunka, 1978. The status of Austrophthiracarus radiatus Balogh & Mahunka sensu Balogh & Balogh (1983) remains unresolved. Liu & Zhang (2016) suggested that specimens from Victoria identified as A. radiatus may actually belong to A. glennieensis.

Introduction

The name of this species should probably be spelled as mallacootaensis, after the Victorian town of Mallacoota. However, Niedbała (2006) specifically said the name came from the type locality of Mallacoola, so the original spelling cannot be corrected.

Introduction

Niedbała (2000) referred to this species as both Notophthiracarus longisetus (in three places) and Notophthiracarus longisetosus (in three places). He also used both spellings in later publications. The original description is headed Notophthiracarus longisetus, so I interpret Notophthiracarus longisetosus as a spelling error.
