Comment:
Hoplophthiracarus similis (Niedbala, 2001), originally published in Notophthiracarus, and Hoplophthiracarus similis Niedbala, 2000, are unresolved junior secondary homonyms of Austrophthiracarus similis Balogh & P. Balogh, 1983 (now placed as a junior synonym of Hoplophthiracarus radiatus), as they are all currently congeneric (see ICZN Art. 57.3.1). Both junior homonyms are without synonyms, so replacement names for both would be needed unless their case were brought before the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature
