Topic: Veigaiidae

Would it be possible to have the Veigaiidae Oudemans, 1939 family of mites added to the taxon dictionary?

I have just noted it's not on R6 or the NBN but is listed as accepted by GBIF (http://www.gbif.org/species/6079) which interestingly also has seven records for GB! (http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?T … COUNTRY=GB)

OK, I have added the family, genera & species mentioned on GBIF - if you have a list of other taxa that are found in the UK then I can add those too:

Cyrthydrolaelaps Berlese, 1905
tvk NHMSYS0021126961
Gamasolaelaps Berlese, 1903

Re: Veigaiidae

That's great thank you Chris.
There is the beginnings of a Acari recording scheme. I think there were having some problems with setting up an online recording system (Indicia based/iRecord) as there were quite a few names missing within the taxonomy (a lot of recording is done to family level). I'll post in the group and suggest that they consider putting a list together.
