Authors/Creators

Description

Ulyxes anticlea (Domrow, 1972) new combination

Haemolaelaps anticlea Domrow, 1972b: 290.

Haemolaelaps anticlea. Domrow, 1988: 829.

Androlaelaps anticlea. Halliday, 1998: 123.

Remarks. Male unknown. This species is only reported from Leadbeater’s possum Gymnobelides leadbeateri from a highland site in Victoria (Tanjil Bren). It could easily be confused with the closely-related U. euryclea which also occurs in Leadbeater’s possum nests. See Remarks for U. euryclea. It has two teeth on the fixed digit which is slightly stronger dentition than some of its parasitic congeners (Table 3).
