129. Rhodacarus coronatus Berlese, 1920 Rhodacarus coronatus Berlese, 1920: 165. Rhodacarus (?) coronatus.— Athias-Henriot, 1961: 502. Rhodacarus coronatus.— Lee, 1970: 29; Karg, 1971: 321; Bregetova & Shcherbak, 1977b: 261; Shcherbak, 1977: 76; Castagnoli & Pegazzano, 1985: 91; Karg, 1993: 333. Rhodacarus (Rhodacarus) coronatus.— Shcherbak, 1980: 50. Rhodacarus (?) coronatus forma simplex Athias-Henriot, 1961: 502 (unavailable infrasubspecific name, International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Articles 15.2 and 45.6.3). TYPE DEPOSITORY: Istituto Sperimentale per la Zoologia Agraria, Florence, Italy. TYPE LOCALITY AND HABITAT: Italy, Firenze, Boboli and Vallombrosa, in moss. NOTE: Athias-Henriot (1961) provisionally identified specimens from Italy as Rhodacarus (?) coronatus, and from Algeria as Rhodacarus (?) coronatus forma simplex. This ambiguity suggests that the name Rhodacarus coronatus conceals more than one species, and all identifications under this name must be considered as unconfirmed.
