Masthermannia

Description

Masthermannia Berlese, 1913

Masthermannia Berlese, 1913, p. 100.

Posthermannia Grandjean, 1954c, p. 298.

The original diagnosis of the genus is insufficient, and Berlese's description and figure of the type-species (Angelia mammillaris) are partly incorrect. Owing to this Grandjean (1954c) created a genus Posthermannia that is in fact a synonym of Masthermannia, because Posthermannia nematophora (the type-species of the genus) appears to be identical with M. mammillaris.

Two species of the genus are known: Masthermannia mammillaris (Berlese) (= Posthermannia nematophora Grandjean), and Masthermannia hirsuta (Hartmann, 1949); the differences between them are given by Grandjean (1956a, p. 456).
