Extract

An examination of Hodge's original slides of marine Acari shows that three alterations in synonymy are called for: (i) Simognathus sculptus (Brady, 1875) to become a synonym of S. minutus (Hodge, 1863); (ii) Copidognathus oculatus Hodge, 1860 to become C. oculatus Lohmann, 1889; (iii) C. glyptoderma Trouessart to become a synonym of C. granulatus (Hodge, 1863). Observations were also made on the permanence of Dean's Medium as a mountant for small arachnids and some quotations and observations on the value of certain diagnostic characteristics of the genus Copidognathus are made.
