Remarks. 1. Trombicula fletcheri Womersley and Heaslip, 1943 and T. obscura Womersley, 1944 were synonymized with T. akamushi by Womersley (1952), but these acts were not generally accepted (Vercammen-Grandjean & Langston 1976).
2. I have not listed here old unavailable names, namely, Kedania tanakai Kishida, 1917 and Trombicula coarctata Kitashima and Miyajima, 1918, which were included in the lists of synonyms for L. akamushi previously (Gunther 1952; Fuller 1952; Wharton & Fuller 1952).
3. Vercammen-Grandjean (1969) established that any type material of Trombidium akamushi does not exist and designated a neotype, which was termed by him as “ lectotype ” (Vercammen-Grandjean 1969; Vercammen-Grandjean & Langston 1976).
4. Vercammen-Grandjean & Langston (1976) questioned the presence of L. akamushi in Southeast Asia and noted that its range does not overlap with the range of L. deliense, according to critically revised data. Consequently, its list of hosts should in reality be much lesser than given above.
