| As long ago as 1839 C. L. KOCH described and pictured a mite which he found on several occasions in stables and hay-barns. As he was impressed by the beauty of the animal, he gave it the name Cheyletus venustissimus. But KOCH overlooked the fact that already in 1794 a description of the same mite had been published by SHAW with the name Acarus lepidopterorum (lepidopterine mite). Shaw collected it from a """"Phalaena""""; he found many mites clinging to the underside of the wings. Since KOCH (1839) many other authors mentioned the mite in literature using the name venustissimus. A. C. OUDEMANS also used venustissimus in his 1907 paper (p. 144—153, figs. 37—39), but when making the studies for his Kritisch Historisch Overzicht II (1929 : 298—300, fig. 84),... |

Trouessart's description was preliminary, but the promised complete description with figures in the Bulletin de la Société Zoologique de France was never published. Strandtmann (1956, pp. 137-140) and Fain (1957, pp. 42-44) have sufficiently explained that the species R. rhinolethrum is not the type species of Sternostomum Trouessart, 1895, an invalid emendation of the generic name Sternostoma Berlese & Trouessart, 1889, and that it does not even belong to the genus Sternostoma. It should be placed in the genus Rhinonyssus. In 1904 (pp. 28-30,... |
