Five new species of Anthocoptini from China (Acari: Eriophyidae) Author Xue, Xiao-Feng Author Song, Zi-Wei Author Hong, Xiao-Yue text Zootaxa 2010 2010-07-21 2544 1 53 http://dx.doi.org/10.15468/um2vzb journal article 10.15468/um2vzb 1175-5326 5303209 Abbreviata ranae ( Walton, 1931 ) * Site of infection: intestine, stomach. Recruitment: ingestion. Distribution: USA : Columbia, Illinois , Indiana , Louisiana , South Carolina ( Walton 1931 ). Specimens in collections: Walton (1931) pointed out that type material was deposited in Ward Collection , University of Illinois , catalogue number 12211 . Remarks: Larval forms of this species [originally described as Physaloptera ranae by Walton (1931) ] have been reported in frogs ( Reiber et al . 1940 ; Campbell 1968 ; Ashton & Rabalais 1978 ); adults have not been described. Physaloptera ranae was transferred by Morgan (1941) to the genus Abbreviata , but Baker (1987) considered it a species inquirendae , because it is possible that more than one physalopterid species is envolved in these reports. On the other hand, Bursey et al . (2006a) pointed out that amphibians are probably intermediate hosts for species of Abbreviata .
