Remarkable water mite preparations
conserved at the Museum of Natural History Stockholm

Reinhard Gerecke

     

    During a stay at Stockholm in the first half of September, 1997 (financed by the DFG) I had the occasion to make an inventory of the collection Lundblad.

    In the following, no mention is made of the slides of Lundblad's general collection which is completely documented in his publications. Of each species in study, Lundblad produced a series of perfect slide preparations and conserved the remaining material completely labeled in monospecific series in glass jars. For each new species, he designated a "Type" and an "Allotype", sometimes also additional (taxonomically insignificant) "Plesiotypes". Only in very few cases there may be doubts on the real taxonomic state of Lundblad's types. However, the lack of the type material of two species described by Lundblad should be mentioned:

    1. Monatractides fissus 3165 (Lundblad 1956a: "Der Typus ist mir leider zur Überprüfung nicht zugänglich" - probably paraphrase for "I have lost the type").
    2. Heteratax falcipes 2871, 3206, 3536, 3538 (lost in mail)
    The principal aim of this report is to compile all non-Lundblad preparations presently conserved at Stockholm. In many cases, the presence of these preparations in Sveden is not self-evident, and the list includes also a conspicuous series of material from other collections that was thought to be lost. Furthermore, all specimens are listed which originate from coll. Koenike (Berlin) and were transferred to Sveden by acquisition.
     

    Evaluation of the collection after Mc Ginley (1989)

    Level 1, conservation problems.

    "Red flag" problems concern exclusively the preparations which remained uncomplete when Lundblad died (types of his last publication, drawers 628/629). No cases of drying slide media or non decipherable labels were found.

    Level 2, unidentified material, unsorted and effectively inaccessible to research community.

    The following report contains all information necessary for an access to the complete collection.

    Level 3, unidentified material, sorted and effectively accessible to research community.

    There is only very few undetermined material, mainly females or deutonymphs of difficult taxa, probably of low interest to the (stressed) research community. Taxonomically interesting undetermined (unpublished) material is found in drawers 611-613 (S-Africa) and 630/631 (Chile) which contain unpublished material on slides with only cryptic geographic information.

    Level 4, identified material (to species level) not incorporated into general collection, and Level 5, inadequately curated material, not meeting departmental standards.

    No such material present at Stockholm

    Level 6, Physical curation complete, meeting departmental standards

    By far most of the slides and (with the restrictions given for Levels 3 and 4) the whole liquid collection fall within this category.

    Level 7, Physical curation complete, species level inventory complete.

    Using Lundblad's own list (in drawer 627) and the following report, all preps should be to be found easily - apart some little problems with the systematic arrangement in the main collection (sometimes following subgenus level).
    Level 8 and Level 9, label data and research data captured in database
    Reaching these levels is not necessary.

    Need for conservation measurements

    At present, some preparations can be recognised only from their position in a characteristic drawer. Before any changes in positions of slides are made, it is absolutely necessary to label the material in question. This should be done together with labeling of the partly unlabeled material from Java.
    I would propose to integrate the slides presently conserved in the drawers 610-723 into the main colletion.
    The labelling and reorganization of the late Lundblad material could be done most easily and quickly by a water mite taxonomist.
     

     1. Systematic part

    The list gives genus/species name - name of collection from where the slide derives (not automatically species author!) - drawer number - slide number - remarks, e.g. information on composition of the material: total nr (males/females/deutonymphs/larvae).
    Species names are given in the original form on the labels, without respect to the modern synonymy; the order follows the order within the collection (drawer numbers).

    3. Fluid collection

       
    1. As far as not monted on slides, the complete material published by Lundblad is perfectly conserved in monospecies-tubes, sorted for genera and/or geograpic regions.
    2. One jar contains specimens from coll. Sokolow: Thermohydracarus thermobius, Piona gyrophora, Arrenurus nassonowi F., Neumania angulata, Lebertia stackelbergi saxicola, Hygrobates squamifer, Sperchon glandulosus. The jar is accompained by a much longer list of species "Förteckning på hydracariner från Sokolow i mars 1935". The whereabouts of the remaining species is unclear.
    3. "Hydracarina, received 1949 from the Evertebrate department": undetermined material collected in Siberia 1876-1931, ca. 30 tubes with complete collecting site labels, < 100 mites.
