Pseudotritia vestita Willmann 1920

Description

Pseudotritia vestita (Berlese, 1913)

Hoploderma vestitum Berlese, 1913, p. 103, pl. 8 figs. 103, 103a 1).

Although the species is not mentioned by Lombardini (1936), two cotypes (nos. 141/17, 21) are still present in the Collection; they originate from the type-locality Semarang (Java), but one slide has only Java as locality.

I could study the animal in lateral view only. This study as well as Berlese's drawing (the lateral view of the aspis for instance) point to the Euphthiracaridae (Berlese erroneously classified the species with Hoploderma!). I have classified the species with Pseudotritia because of the absence of a ridge on the aspis.

1) In the explanation of pl. 8 an erroneous reference is made to fig. 102a.
