On the taxonomy of water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia) described from the Palaearctic, part 2: Hydryphantoidea and Lebertioidea Author Sabatino, Antonio Di Author Gerecke, Reinhard Author Gledhill, Terence Author Smit, Harry text Zootaxa 2009 2266 1 34 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.190843 cb229040-f235-462d-b23b-55e3870709a9 1175-5326 190843 Oxus lineatus Walter, 1912 Species incerta Material examined: NHMB , Holotype Ƥ, gnathosoma/idiosoma on two slides ( II/80 -81), Austria , Lunz 1911 Walter. Discussion: Walter (1912b) described this species from Austria without giving illustrations, and now it is only known from the holotype female. According to the original description, the palp should be slender, but examination revealed that in fact it is very stocky – possibly as a mounting artifact. As other characters given in the original description do not allow a separation from other species, O. lineatus is best considered a species incerta .
