The nasal mites of the Domestic Goose and the Eider (Acarina, Rhinonyssidae)
In the year 1895 Trouessart described a new species: Sternostomum rhinolethrum 1) (at present known as Rhinonyssus rhinolethrum (Trouessart, 1895)) from the nasal cavities of the Domestic Goose, Anser anser (L.). Trouessart's description was preliminary, but the promised complete description wi...
