Carolinea 78

130 Carolinea 78 (2020) 1840 and Platynothrus peltifer (C. L. K och , 1840) similarly were first published in 1840 instead of in 1839. Camisia invenusta ( M ichael , 1888) Original combination: Nothrus invenustus M ichael , 1888. Species identification based on M ichael (1888: 500 + pl. 47A, fig. 12, + pl. 47, fig 6), C olloff (1993: 1365, 1404), O lszanowski (1996: 25, 46) and W eigmann (2006: 152). Collected on the Königstuhl mountain near Hei- delberg at a submontane altitude of 430 m, from fruticose lichen on sandstone rock. Collection date 5.11.2007. One adult specimen was found. Comments: This is the first record of the species for Germany. Camisia invenusta is not mentioned by either W eigmannn et al. (2015) or B eck , H orak & W oas (2018) and is also not listed as occurring in Germany in the online databases of the Global Biodiversity Information Facilty (2020) and the Fauna Europaea (2020). W eigmann (2006) inclu- ded the species in his determination key of Cen- tral European members of the genus Camisia . Camisia invenusta has so far been discovered in more than a dozen countries in the Palaearctic, including Austria ( C olloff 1993), France ( T rave 1960), Poland ( O lszanowski 1996), Denmark ( C olloff 1993), Finland ( N iemi 1995), Norway ( C olloff 1993), Sweden ( S ellnick & F orsslund 1955), the United Kingdom ( M ichael 1888), Italy ( S chatz 2018a), Spain ( S ubías 1977), Japan ( A oki 2006) and Arctic Russia ( L eonov , R akhleeva & S idorchuk 2015). It has also been collected by C olloff (1993) in Shimla in the Himalayan region of India at the boundary of the Palaearctic and Indomalayan biogeographic realms. The species has frequently been collected in mountainous sites such as by by L eonov , R ak - hleeva & S idorchuk ( 2015) in the Khibiny Moun- tains in the Kola Peninsula. W eigmann (2006) considers Camisia invenusta to inhabit primarily montane to subalpine habitats. An association of C . invenusta with lichen on rock has also been noted by several other authors besides me such as M ichael (1888), T ravé (1960), C olloff (1993), N iemi (1995), F röberg et al. (2003) and S eber - negg (2017). The taxon has however also been found in other microhabitats as discussed by S eyd and S eaward (1984) . Neoliodes theleproctus ( H ermann , 1804) Original combination: Notaspis theleproctus H er - mann , 1804. Species identification based on H ermann (1804: 91, 142, figs. 5, K, L, M), G randjean (1936: 54) and W eigmann (2006: 171). Collected in the Dossenwald in Mannheim at an elevation of about 110 m from foliose lichen on a branch of a Cornish oak ( Quercus petraea ( M att . ) L iebl . ). Collection date 11.10.2009. Five adults and 5 nymphs were found. Comments: This is the first collection record of the species for Baden-Württemberg. H aller (1882: 306) mentions collecting material of a “ Nothrus theleproctes K och ” in the Fulgenstadter forest in this German federal state. This finding by H aller is, however, not confirmed since Ne- oliodes ionicus ( S ellnick , 1932), which is very similar to N . theleproctus in morphology, was not known at the time. Furthermore H aller (1882) regarded Platyliodes scaliger (C. L. K och , 1840) as being juveniles of Neoliodes theleproctus and may also not have differentiated between the lat- ter species and Poroliodes farinosus (C. L. K och , 1840). As a literature reference H aller (1882: 306) gives page 244 and plate 10, figure 3 of a work published in 1879 by M ichael and G eorge . The species depicted by these two authors is clearly Poroliodes farinosus and not at all Neoli- odes theleproctus. Scapheremaeus palustris ( S ellnick , 1924) Original combination: Cymbaeremaeus ( Scapheremaeus ) palustris S ellnick , 1924. Species identification based on S ellnick (1929: 25), W eigmann (2006: 330) and N orton , F ranklin & C rossley (2010). Collected in Neckarau in Mannheim at a low elevation of 96 m from foliose lichen on a horse chestnut tree ( Aesculus hippocastanum L .), at 1 m height. Collection date 26.11.2008. A single dead adult mite was found. Comments: This is the first time that the spe- cies has been recorded for Baden-Württemberg. Scapheremaeus palustris is predominantly arbo- real ( W eigmann et al. 2015) and has a Holarctic distribution ( B ehan - P elletier & L indo 2019). The specimen collected by me in Mannheim was damaged, with several structures such as most legs and the distal thickenings of the sensilli bro- ken off. Nevertheless it was readily identifiable. Its characteristics agree well with the description of the species by S ellnick (1929) and W eigmann (2006). It differs from these in that in dorsal view the humeral angle of the notogaster is not sharply pointed and 90 degrees but instead is somewhat indistinct. The perceived degree of development
