Lohmannella falcata (Hodge, 1863) Report associated with sponges: This species was reported from mud and sedimentds containing organisms such as sponge Halicondria sp., algae Cystoclonium , Plocanium , pycnogonids, etc., from Helgoland, North Sea (Viets 1927a). André (1928) mentioned this species among algae, sponges and bryozoans from Mediterranean Sea. Remarks: Bartsch (2020) mentioned that the specimens identified to L. falcata from 2500–3000 m depth would be distinct from L. falcata and those from 400–500 m depth at Golfe de Gascogne (Trouessart & Neumann 1896) were also dubious. This species was reported on various substrates: coarse sands, gravels, shell fragments, sediments with algae, mussels, bryozoans, hydroids, ascidians, and lichens (Abé 2021). : Published as part of Chatterjee, Tapas, 2021, A checklist of halacarid and hydrachnid mites (Acari, Halacaridae & Hydrachnidia) associated with sponges (Porifera), pp. 101-129 in Zootaxa 5072 (2) on page 111, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5072.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5733656 : {"references": ["Viets, K.
