Oribotritiidae

Description

ORIBOTRITIIDAE Grandjean, 1954

The family Oribotritiidae is different from the Euphthiracaridae (from which it was separated by Grandjean in 1954) by the characteristic structure of the ano-genital region, and by the structure of the palp that has 5 joints.

Beside Oribotritia Jacot (1924) (which was mentioned by Grandjean (1954) as Single representative of the family) two other genera possibly belong to the family: Indotritia Jacot (1929) and Protoribotritia Jacot (1938a).

I have contributed Berlese's species to Oribotritia.
