Family ATOPOMELIDAE Gunther, 1942

Atopomelinae Gunther, C.E.M. 1942. Notes on the Listrophoridae (Acarina : Sarcoptoidea). Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 67: 109-110.

Introduction

The Atopomelidae is a family of 47 genera and about 400 species of ectoparasitic mites that occur in the fur of a wide variety of mammals (OConnor 2009). The world fauna was reviewed by Bochkov (2010), and the Australian fauna of 20 genera and 97 species was catalogued and keyed by Domrow (1992). Most Australian species have been collected from marsupials, and a few from rodents.

Several species have been incorrectly recorded from Australia, for a variety of reasons:

Bochkov (2010) listed Austrochirus peroryctes Fain & Bochkov, 2003 as occurring in "Australia", without further qualification. However, that statement is based on a broad concept of the Australian biogeographic region, which includes areas that are not part of Australia as defined here. This species was described from Papua New Guinea and has not been recorded from Australia.

Bochkov (2010) listed Campylochirus pseudocheirus Fain, 1972 (spelled as pseudocehirus) as occurring in "Australia", without further qualification. However, that statement is based on a broad concept of the Australian biogeographic region, which includes areas that are not part of Australia as defined here. This species was described from Papua New Guinea and has not been recorded from Australia.

Fain (1972) described Campylochirus (Campylochiroides) petauricola from two specimens. The male holotype was from New Guinea. The female "allotype" from Gippsland Victoria was transferred to Campylochirus brevicepsicola by Domrow (1992). Campylochirus petauricola has not been recorded from Australia.

Cytostethum mediosquamatum Fain & Domrow, 1975 was incorrectly recorded from Australia by Halliday (1998). This species is known only from Papua New Guinea.

Neolabidocarpus buloloensis was incorrectly recorded from Australia by Halliday (1998). This species is known only from New Guinea.

Bochkov (2010) listed Murichirus maximus Fain, 1975 as occurring in "Australia", without further qualification. However, that statement is based on a broad concept of the Australian biogeographic region, which includes areas that are not part of Australia as defined here. This species was described from New Guinea and has not been recorded from Australia.

Bochkov (2010) listed Cytostethum prosquamatum Fain & Domrow, 1975 as occurring in "Australia", without further qualification. However, that statement is based on a broad concept of the Australian biogeographic region, which includes areas that are not part of Australia as defined here. This species was described from New Guinea and has not been recorded from Australia.

Introduction

Fain (1972) described Campylochirus (Campylochiroides) petauricola from two specimens. The male holotype was from New Guinea. The female allotype (= paratype) from Gippsland Victoria was transferred to Campylochirus brevicepsicola by Domrow (1992). Campylochirus petauricola has not been recorded from Australia.

Introduction

The genus Neolabidocarpus is known from Australia only on the basis of an unconfirmed record of an unidentified species, reported from Queensland by Domrow (1962). The one known species, Neolabidocarpus buloloensis (Gunther, 1940) is known only from a single specimen from New Guinea. It was incorrectly recorded from Australia by Halliday (1998).

Family CHIRODISCIDAE Trouessart, 1892

Chirodiscidea Trouessart, E.L. 1892. Considérations générales sur la classification des acariens, suivies d'un essai de classification nouvelle. Revue des Sciences Naturelles de l'Ouest 2: 20-54.

Introduction

The Chirodiscidae is a cosmopolitan family of 28 genera and about 250 species of ectoparasitic mites that occur in the fur of a variety of mammals, mostly bats (OConnor 2009). The world fauna was reviewed by Bochkov (2010), and the Australian fauna of 6 genera and 11 species, all from bat hosts, was catalogued and keyed by Domrow (1992).

Bochkov (2010) listed Alabidocarpus parryae Fain, 1976 as occurring in "Australia", without further qualification. However, that statement is based on a broad concept of the Australian biogeographic region, which includes areas that are not part of Australia as defined here. This species was described from Vanuatu and has not been recorded from Australia. The same argument applies to Asiolabidocarpus bougainvilleensis Fain, 1972 (Solomon Islands), Dentocarpus notopteris Fain, 1976 (Vanuatu), Dentocarpus borneoensis Fain, 1979 (Borneo), Olabidocarpus orientalis Fain, 1976 (Malaya and Java), Olabidocarpus americanus McDaniel & Lawrence, 1964 (North America, Hawaii and the Galapagos Islands), and Olabidocarpus aselliscus McDaniel & Lawrence, 1964 (Solomon Islands).

Introduction

The Gastronyssidae is a family of nine genera and 42 species of endoparasitic mites that occur in mammals, mostly bats. They are found in the nasal passages, eyes, and stomach of their hosts (OConnor 2009). The world fauna was reviewed by Bochkov (2010) and Bochkov et al. (2008), and the Australian fauna of two genera and three species, all from bats, was catalogued and keyed by Domrow (1992).

Introduction

Fain (1959a) showed the authorship of the genus name Opsonyssus as "Fain 1959 : sous presse". The date of publication of this work was May 1959. However, Fain (1959b) showed Opsonyssus zumpti n. g., n. sp., with a date of publication of 30th April 1959 and this is therefore the date of publication of the name Opsonyssus Fain, 1959

Introduction

The family Listrophoridae includes 21 genera and over 150 species world-wide, all of which are parasites in the hair of mammalian hosts (OConnor 2009). The world fauna was reviewed by Bochkov (2010). The Australian fauna consists of only two species, both found on introduced hosts (hare, rabbit, cat) (Domrow 1992). Listrophoridae have not been found on any species of Australian native mammal. Derrick et al. (1939), reported an unidentified species of Listrophoridae on a bandicoot, but that record has not been confirmed.

Introduction

The family Listropsoralgidae was described as a subfamily of Psoroptidae by Fain (1965) and promoted to the family level by by Bochkov et al. (2013). The family includes four genera and 13 species, all of which are ectoparasites of small mammals in South America and Australia. The Australian fauna includes two species in the genus Petauralges, both parasites of marsupials.

Introduction

Mites in the family Myocoptidae are ectoparasites of small mammals. Their legs are adapted for grasping the hair of their host, but they feed on fluids from the host's skin (Domrow 1992). The six genera and 60 species were reviewed by Bochkov (2010). Only three species have been recorded in Australia. Myocoptes musculinus is a cosmopolitan pest of the house mouse in laboratory colonies, and the other two species have also been found on rodents.

Introduction

The Psoroptidae is a family of ectoparasitic mites that occur in on a wide variety of mammalian hosts. They occur in the skin of many species of mammals, including important livestock species such as sheep, cattle, horses and goats, where they can cause serious economic losses (OConnor 2009; Mullen & OConnor 2009). Different species occur preferentially on the body and ears of their hosts. The 29 genera and 50 species were reviewed by Bochkov (2010). The Australian fauna includes four genera and five species, which are found on domesticated mammals and a few species of marsupials (Domrow 1992).

See Strong & Halliday (1992) for an account of the confusion surrounding unconfirmed records of Psoroptes equi in Australia. A species referred to as Psoroptes communis var. ovis was present in Australia and caused a serious outbreak of sheep scab in the period up to 1850. However, control measures were apparently successful, the mite was eradicated, and it now appears to be absent from Australia (Seddon 1952, 1968; Strong & Halliday 1992).

Introduction

The genus Psoroptes is a difficult one taxonomically. For example, the differences between P. cuniculi and P. ovis identified by Sweatman (1958) have been questioned (Wright et al., 1983, 1984; Boyce et al, 1990), and the exact status of these and other taxa in the genus remains uncertain. Bochkov (2010) considered that P. ovis, P. equi, P. cuniculi and P. cervinus are all synonyms, but that opinion is not universally accepted.

Family SARCOPTIDAE Murray, 1877

Sarcoptidae Murray, A. 1877. Economic Entomology. Aptera. South Kensington Museum Science Handbook no. 1. London : Chapman and Hall 433 pp.

Introduction

The 177 known species of Sarcoptidae are parasites that burrow in the skin of mammalian hosts (OConnor 2009). Bochkov (2010) reviewed the world fauna, and Klompen (1992) proposed a phylogeny of the family. The family includes the common scabies mite Sarcoptes scabiei, which sometimes causes significant pathology in humans and domesticated mammals (Mullen & OConnor 2009). The Australian species occur on rodents, marsupials, bats, domesticated mammals, and humans (catalogued by Domrow, 1992). Since then Bochkov (2012) has described a new genus with one new species.

Bochkov (2010) listed Teinocoptes haymani Fain, 1963 as occurring in "Australia", without further qualification. However, that statement is based on a broad concept of the Australian biogeographic region, which includes areas that are not part of Australia as defined here. This species was described from Vanuatu and has not been recorded from Australia. The same is true for Nycteridocoptes notopteris Klompen, 1992 (Fiji and New Caledonia).
