Extract

In the winter of 1939 a sample of mites from salted steer hides was sent to me from Buenos Aires for identification with the note that they were present in great numbers in this habitat. As upon examination these appeared to constitute a new species sufficiently unlike the existing representatives of the genus Pontoppidania to preclude its inclusion in that group, the erection of a new, but closely allied genus, seemed to be warranted. Because of the peculiar nature of its habitat and because of its association with hides the name Diphtheroglyphus has been given to this group.
