Trombidium fuornum Schweizer, 1951 (unclear synonym)
The taxon Trombidium fuornum has been described from Switzerland.
However, the analysis of Makol (2005) suggests that Trombidium fuornum
falls within the individual variation present in Trombidium
holosericeus and is therefore regarded as an unclear synonym of the
latter.
The taxon Acarus parasiticus has been described by De Geer as a red
mite that parasitizes flies and other insects. Thus, this description
includes most species of Trombidium. Consequently, the name has been
used by subsequent authors for any red Trombidium species. Thus,
records of Trombidium parasiticus could refer to several Trombidium
species. There is also the possibility that the nominal Acarus
parasiticus refers to a bona species, but this is difficult to
determine at the present time. Because Trombidium holosericeum is the
commonest species of the genus, it is likely that the original Acarus
parasiticus belonged to this species and therefore the name is included
here as an unclear synonym.
