Description

Amerobelba decedens Berlese, 1908

Amerobelba decedens Weigmann & Schwalbe 1994, p. 38, figs 1-3.

Amerobelba decedens Pérez-Íñigo 1997, p. 173, fig. 61.

Amerobelba decedens Weigmann 2006, p. 214, fig. 113d-f.

Parco Naturale delle Alpi Marittime: AND-I sparse.

General distribution: Northern, southern Italy; Italian, Austrian Alps; Central, South Europe, southwestern Palaearctic; Mediterranean.

Habitat preferences: primarily praticolous.

Remarks: Body length 650–690 µm. The morphological characters of the examined specimens correspond to the redescription of Weigmann & Schwalbe (1994). A difference is the smaller body length (Weigmann & Schwalbe 1994: 730–780 µm; Pérez-Íñigo 1997: 725–850 µm; Weigmann 2006: 725–850 µm). The known body length covers a wide range of sizes, the specimens from the Maritime Alps are only slightly smaller and are considered to be conspecific.
