FOREIGN" SPECIES OF ORIBATID^ 



NOT HITHERTO FOUND IN ENGLAND. 



The subjoined list will, I hope, be useful in case any 

 student using this book should find species not known 

 to be British at the date of publication, and conse- 

 quently not included in this work ; it comprises all 

 species which have, to my knowledge, been recorded as 

 captured abroad, and which have not, as far as I know, 

 been captured in Britain. 



The genera are placed in alphabetical order, and 

 the species in each genus are arranged in a similar 

 manner. 



In each case reference is given to the description by 

 the original discoverer ; but in cases where he has pub- 

 lished a fuller description, or one in a more accessible 

 work, at a later date, the second reference is often given 

 instead of the first ; where the discoverer's description 

 or drawings are imperfect and a fuller or different 

 description or plate is given by a later author references 

 are usually given to both. 



The references are somewhat abbreviated, but the 

 full titles of the respective books and papers will be 

 found in the bibliography; see also p. 200. 



The species are always inserted in the genus assigned 

 to them by their discoverer, although this may be in- 

 correct or not consonant with present classifications ; 

 where it is practically certain that the genus given 

 is misleading a note to that effect is usually added. 



In almost all cases a short note of what appear to 

 be the most striking characteristics of the species is 

 added. 



It must be remembered that this list is taken only
