Description
7.4. Opilioacarus italicus (With, 1904) *
Opilioacarus italicus Brignoli 1967: 113-120, figs. 1-15 (redescription without checking holotype); Krivolutsky 1965: 1413 (new distribution); Beron 1990: 64-65 (diagnostic key); Araújo et al. 2018b: 138 (new status, nomen dubium).
Eucarus italicus: With, 1904: 180–182, no figs. (original description)
Holotype: One damaged immature (whereabouts unknown). ITALY, Sicily, Palermo, at the foot of Monte Pelegrino, under stones, MAR.1904, coll. C. B̂rner.
Distribution: Sicily (Italy); Tashkent (Uzbekistan).
Etymology: Named after the country in which the original material was collected, Italy.
Notes: With made a brief description of the specimens, with no distinction made between any other opilioacarid species. The only useful information is the body and appendix measurements. The specimen found in Uzbekistan is probably a different species due the wide range distribution compared to the type locality. Also, the material collected by Brignoli in Apulia and Sardinia was described as a new species (Araújo et al. 2018b) limiting O. italicus to Sicily.
