Abstract

The taxonomic priority of Psoroptes mange mites (Acari: Psoroptidae) is reviewed and the original species descriptions re-examined. The question of whether the name Psoroptes equi or Psoroptes ovis has priority has importance with respect to the descriptions used in any legislation required for compulsory treatment of infested animals. It is concluded that in the work by Hering [(1838) Nova Acta Physico-Medica Acadamiae Caesareae Leopoldino-Carolinae Naturae Curiosorum. Tomi 18, Pars 2, Vratislaviae und Bonn], which is generally assumed to present the type description, the first Psoroptes mite described is P. ovis, and that P. ovis (Hering 1838) should therefore, carry taxonomic priority for the synonomised genus.
