A synopsis of Australian Acarina

Abstract

Mr. Nathan Banks, the well-known American Arachnologist, has recently published a valuable, if brief, "Treatise on Acarina, or Mites." The work is rendered the more acceptable to the student of Acarology, from the fact that it gives not only a key to the numerous families and genera, but also a sketch of the life histories of many species, some of which are of world-wide distribution.
