Retetydeus

(36) Retetydeus [5]. Genus erected by Thor (1931) with R. catenulatus as the type species. Last used in mite descriptions by Baker (1944) for boycei and doddsi. The genus was listed—for the last time!—by Baker and Wharton (1952: 192), with catenulatus as type species. A synonymization with Lorryia was advanced by Baker (1965: 105). Although the type species, catenulatus, was never redescribed from Norway, it was included in the genus Brachytydeus by Silva et al. (2016: 13). The specimens of R. viviparus studied by Grandjean (1938) belong to Brachytydeus.
