ACARINA FROM ALGERIA. 



417 



monodactyle ; a species very similar to it, and erroneouslj' supposed 

 by some to be identical with it, has been found in Italy by Prof. 

 Canestriai, and called by him ]S\ anauniensis. This creature has 

 the strong central claw and an extremely weak and small lateral 

 claw on one side only, so that it becomes didactyle with very unequal 

 claws. In Algeria I find a creature which I have, with some doubt, 

 considered to be a variety of JV. anauniensis, and which does not 

 differ from Prof. Canestrini's species in any respect that I can see, 

 except that it has the weak lateral claw on each side of the central, 

 thus becoming tridactyle and completing the series.
