Name

[edit]
The name of this taxon appears to be invalid under the relevant nomenclatural code, as it is a redundant synonym of Ereynetes.

Protereunetes Berlese, 1923

Synonyms

[edit]
  • Junior subjective synonym of Ereynetes according to Fain (1964: 104)

Notes

[edit]
  • Berlese, (1923) erected the subgenus Protereunetes in his genus Micrereunetes.
  • Thor (1933: 78) listed the genus Protereunetes as acarina erroneously assigned to the Ereynetidae.
  • Thor & Willmann (1941) raised Protereunetes to full genus rank and (falsely) included this genus in the Eupodidae. This opinion was repeated by Strandtmann (1971)
  • Fain (1964) worked on the typical series deposited in the Acarotheca of Florence and showed that Protereunetes actually belong to the Ereynetidae and not to the Eupodidae as previously stated.
  • Fain (1964: 104) synonymyzed Protereunetes with Ereynetes.
  • Subsequently, Fain & Camerik (1994) erected the genus Neoprotereunetes (Eupodidae)to accommodate eupodid mites falsely named Protereunetes.
