An easy type of the word "Miticur" and click brings up numerous posts
with interesting information and names. Including this, which answers
a recent query of whether amitraz works against tracheal mites:

Apis--Apicultural Information and Issues (ISSN 0889-3764)
Volume 11, Number 1, January 1993
MITICUR (R) RECEIVES SECTION THREE
The product known as Miticur (R) has finally received a section
three or general use label. The material is a plastic strip that
contains the active ingredient called amitraz. It is labelled to
control both Varroa and tracheal mites in bee hives. This material
is much needed as an alternative for Varroa mite control using
fluvalinate [Apistan (R)] and/or controlling tracheal mites using
menthol.
Unfortunately, there have been reports of adverse reactions with
the product in Florida and the merchant, a company called Hoechst
Roussel, has sent a letter (dated January 15) to those who have
purchased Miticur (R) requesting them to temporarily stop treating
bees with strips packaged in bags of 300. Instead, these strips
should be held until further notice or returned to the point of
purchase and traded for those packaged in lots of 30. In an effort
to keep communication with beekeepers on this and other issues, the
company has established a toll-free number (1-800-723-6516).
