Extract

Since the description by Linnaeus in 1758 of the very irritating patatta-mite (“patatta-luis”) of Surinam under the name Acarus batatas, this parasite has often been mentioned in the literature, but seldom have attempts been made to learn more about it. Furthermore, many important data have been omitted by authors in their writings, so that it seems desirable to summarise what is known of this mite.
