x very long, reclinate and curved. All other hairs short. Hairs c

i and c

3 inserted far from collar line, hair c

2 still f urther removed. Distance between hair c

1 and collar line about equalling width of collar. Anogenital region: 2 pairs of anal hairs long ; adanal hairs considerably shorter, without any essential difference between their leng'hs. Material examined — Holotype (417-HO-78): Hungary, Budapest, Farkasrét, Ördögorom, dry moss, 8. V. 1955, leg J. BALOGH; 2 Paratypes: same locality. — Holotype and 1 Paratype (417-PO-78) in the HNHM, 1 Paratype in the MHNG. Remarks — The new species stands nearest to A. peristomaticus (WILLMANN, 1954), but in the latter species the hairs c are otherwise arranged, with hair c

x arising on the collar line. Archiphthiracarus hungaricus sp. n. (Figs. 20-22) Measurements — Length of aspis: 227 u., length of notogaster: 413 u., height of notogaster: 292 [i. Aspis : Upper margin flattened in a lateral view (Fig. 20), only slightly convex. Hairs short, interbothridial hair longer yet not reaching insertion point of rostral hair. Sensillus (Fig. 22) short, wide, phylliform. Notogaster : Notogastral hairs very thin, arcuate, shaggy. Hairs c

2 and c

3 arising behind marginal line of collar, all approximately equidistant. Anogenital region (Fig. 21): Hairs without considerable differences in length. Material examined — Holotype (418-HO-78) : Kőszeg, IV. 1937, leg J. BALOGH. — Holotype in the HNHM. Remarks — Characterized mainly by the 5 nearly equally long anoadanal hairs and a short sensillus. The new species resembles A. stramineus (C. L. KOCH, 1841), but in the latter species the hairs are much shorter and the hairs c

) absent, only their alveoli present. Anal and adanal plates not fused; anal plate large, adanal plate much smaller and elongated, posteriorly not surrounging anal plates. All legs with 3 claws. Type-species : Cryptoplophora mauritanica GRANDJEAN, 1932. Remarks — The distinctness of the anal and adanal plates as well as the preservation of the homogeneity of genera justify the erection of the new genus. EPILOHMANNIIDAE Sinolohmannia subgen. n. Habitus as in Epilohmannia BERLESE, 1916. On tibia IV, near solenidium, a thickened smooth spiniform hair present, thus tibia IV with a total of 5 or 6 setae (including solenidium). Type - species: EpilohmanniagiganteaBERLESE, 1916. Remarks — The genus Epilohmannia BERLESE, 1916, includes 2 species-groups; the nominate subgenus is characterized by the absence of thickened spiniform hairs on tibia IV near the solenidium, whereas the new subgenus has more hairs on tibia IV among them 1 or 2 are incrassate and spiniform.
