| description | During the course of a study of certain of the Banks mite types in
the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard
College some cases of obvious synonymy were found. Two of these
cases sink Banks’ names; the remainder result in the establishment of
his names as senior synonyms. In addition to those of Banks, the types
of Ewing’s, Furman’s and Hicks’ species (all in U.S. National
Museum) were examined in connection with this work. I am grateful
to Drs. H. W. Levi and W. L. Brown for arranging for me to study
the Harvard collection and for their many kindnesses during my visit.
The following lectotype designations are not as precise as one
would wish. The Banks types in the Museum of Comparative
Zoology are not numbered and most names are represented by cotypes.
All of the suspected and certain type slides are arranged alphabetically
according to species and kept as a unit in the Arachnida collection of
the Museum. Thus the lectotypes designated herein will be found
labeled as such in their proper place in the alphabetical filing scheme.
It may also be noted here that some of Banks’ species (none of those
treated herein) are represented by cotypes in both the MCZ and
the Acarina collection of the U.S. National Museum. The same is
true of Jacot’s material which has been divided evenly between these
museums. |
