Oribotritia decumana

Description

Oribotritia decumana (C. L. Koch, 1836)

Hoplophora decumana C. L. Koch, 1836, fasc. 2 (9).

Tritia decumana, Berlese, 1883a, fasc. 6 (2); 1896b, p. 20; Sellnick, 1925, p. 305, figs. 5-7.

Phthiracarus berlesei Michael, 1898, p. 81.

Phtiracarus berlesei, Berlese, 1913a, p. 56, textfig., prep. I-14.

Oribotritia decumana, Sellnick, 1928, p. 39, figs. 89, 90; Willmann, 1931, p. 193, figs. 356, 357.

Jacot (1936) did not collect specimens of Hoplophora decumana in Regensburg (the type-locality); nevertheless the identity of the species seems quite certain. Redescriptions are given by Sellnick (1925, 1928) and Willmann (1931).

Michael (1898) considered Tritia decumana Berlese (1883) different from Hoplophora decumana C. L. Koch (1836), and consequently gave it a new name (berlesei); this name was later on also used by Berlese (1913a).

The species is not mentioned by Lombardini; a specimen is, however, present in the Acarotheca italica.
