Из статьи "XENILLUS CLYPEATOR ROBINEAU-DESVOIDY AND ITS IDENTITY", Arthur Paul Jacot. 1929.

"In 1839 Andre Jean Baptiste Robineau-Desvoidy described a new genus and species of beetle under the above name, which he secured on the twelfth of July on agarics of an old cherry tree at Saint-Sauveur, Yonne (about 100 miles south of Paris), France. General Dejean, to whom
the unique specimen was presented, considered it an acarid and Lucas and Demary were appointed to restudy and report on it. They considered it as related to the Oribatids or Uropodids. It was then submitted through Mr. Audouin to Antoine Louis Duges who had made a few studies on Acarians,and who referred it to Oribates castanse Hermann 1804 (type locality Strasbourg). Little did Duges realize, nor did
anyone of that time, the fact that any mesophytic locality can boast of 60-80 species. A comparison of Hermann's description of 0. castanas with that of X. clypeator brings out this point, the former being nearly spherical not ovoid, shining not granular, cephaloprothorax short, not rather long.
A careful perusal of Robineau-Desvoidy's description reveals two important points (1) he mistakes the anterior pair of legs for antennae (giving them 5 joints) thus giving his animal three pairs of legs, instead of four, (2) he mistakes the pseudostigmata for eyes."

Мне как-то удалось вечерком в воши увидеть клеща, а Маша Ч. опознала как сегментарного червя какашку моллюска, но мы же с ней блондинки...
