Description
Summary:Praethecacineta halacari (Schulz, 1933) = Thecacineta halacari Schulz, 1933 = Lissacineta allgeni Jankowski, 1981 Records on halacarid mites: The species was previously observed near the Norwegian coast (Tromsø) and in Kiel Bay (Schulz, 1933) on unidentified halacarids. Precht (1935) later identified P. halacari on Copidognathus spp. in the latter locality. Hamond (1970) reported this species on halacarid mites Copidognathus fabricii (Lohmann, 1889) and C. oculatus (Hodge, 1863) at the sea coast of Norfolk, eastern England. Rare instances of the species are also known from the Bulgarian coast of the Black Sea (Detcheva 1992). Praethecacineta halacari was found on the legs and body surface (both ventrally and dorsally) of Copidognathus brachystomus Viets, 1940 from the Black Sea near Karadag Natural Reserve, Kurortnoye, Crimea (Boshko & Dovgal 2004). It was also recorded in interstitial sand at Cape Martian Reserve near the village of Nikita in the Yalta region, Crimea, from an unidentified halacarid mite (Gelmboldt & Dovgal 2005). Dovgal et al. (2008a) identified among the suctorians observed by Bartsch (1989, 1998, 2001b, 2003), several individuals of P. halacari on the idiosomas of the following halacarid mites: C. brachystomus Viets 1940, C. magnipalpus (Police, 1909), and Halacarellus hyrcanus (Viets, 1928) (= Caspihalacarus hyrcanus Viets, 1928) from Black Sea soft sediment (Bartsch 2001b); H. hyrcanus from the Caspian Sea (Bartsch 1998); C. brifacius Bartsch 1989 from sandy deposits from the North Sea (Bartsch 1989); and on the idiosoma and gnathosoma of C. meridianus Bartsch 2003 off the coast of Western Аustralia (Bartsch 2003) based on figures drawn by those authors. Dovgal et al. (2008a) identified P. halacari on the idiosoma of C. tupinamborum Pepato & Tiago, 2005 from the Аtlantic coast of Brazil based on the figure 1B in Pepato & Tiago (2005). Dovgal et al. (2008a) also reported P. halacari on C. arabicus Chatterjee & Chang, 2004 collected from Goa on the west coast of India ...
