Liochthonius laetepictus

Description

Liochthonius laetepictus (Berlese, 1910)

Brachychthonius laetepictus Berlese, 1910b, p. 380; Lombardini, 1936, p. 38; Forsslund, 1957, p. 591, fig. 14.

According to Forsslund (1957) B. laetepictus is probably identical with B. sellnicki sensu Evans (1952), non Sig Thor; a redescription and a figure are published by him. The type-locality of the species is Chianti in Tuscany (Italy).

I recall that B. laetepictus sensu Oudemans and Willmann appeared to be a different species (Eobrachychthonius oudemansi Van der Hammen, 1952).
