Castriidinychus Castriisimilis
''Castriidinychus'' is a genus of tortoise mites in the family Uropodidae. The genus was first described in 1973 by Werner Hirschmann. According to the Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera The Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG) is a taxonomic database which attempts to cover published genus names for all domains of life (also including subgenera in zoology), from 1758 in zoology (1753 in botany) up to the pre ... there are 20 accepted species in ''Castriidinychus''.

Werner Hirschmann
Werner Hirschmann(1921 - 1993) was a German acarologist (zoologist specializing in mites). In 1951 he earned a doctorate from the University of Erlangen, with the thesis: ''"Subcorticale Parasitiformes und die Gattung Digamasellus Berlese 1905"'', but like many German acarologists, he earned a living as a high school biology teacher. He described over 1400 taxa, but his methods of defining mite genera have not always been accepted.

Uropodidae
Uropodidae is a family of mites in the order Mesostigmata. Description As part of superfamily Uropodoidea, Uropodidae are tortoise-like mites with an oval to circular outline, and with armour both dorsally and ventrally. They can be distinguished from other uropodoids by their chelicerae lacking a large, sclerotized node and their genital opening being in an intercoxal position. Ecology Several species in the family commonly infest Vermicompost, worm bins and consume food intended for the worms. An undescribed species of Uropodidae sucks out the hemolymph of pupae of ''Pheidole megacephala'' ants, resulting in the death of pupae. It preferentially attacks pupae of soldier and male ants. Uropodidae are Phoresis, phoretic on larger arthropods, meaning that they attach to larger arthropods to be transported to new places. This attachment is achieved using a pedicel of translucent material extruded from the mite's anus. One known host for uropodid mites is the red palm weevil ( ...

Interim Register Of Marine And Nonmarine Genera
The Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG) is a taxonomic database which attempts to cover published genus names for all domains of life (also including subgenera in zoology), from 1758 in zoology (1753 in botany) up to the present, arranged in a single, internally consistent taxonomic hierarchy, for the benefit of Biodiversity Informatics initiatives plus general users of biodiversity (taxonomic) information. In addition to containing over 500,000 published genus name instances as at July 2024 (also including subgeneric names in zoology), the database holds over 1.7 million species names (1.3 million listed as "accepted"), although this component of the data is not maintained in as current or complete state as the genus-level holdings. IRMNG can be queried online for access to the latest version of the dataset and is also made available as periodic snapshots or data dumps for import/upload into other systems as desired. The database was commenced in 2006 at the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Taxa Named By Werner Hirschmann
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion, especially in the context of rank-based (" Linnaean") nomenclature (much less so under phylogenetic nomenclature). If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were presumably set forth in prehistoric times by hunter-gatherers, as suggested by the fairly sophisticated folk taxonomies. Much later, Aristotle, and later still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
