Heminothrus capillatus

van der Hammen, L., 1959, Berlese's Primitive Oribatid Mites, Zoologische Verhandelingen 40, pp. 1-93 : 71

Heminothrus capillatus (Berlese, 1914)

Angelia capillata Berlese , 1914, p. 132, pl. 11 (2) fig. 25.

Two type-specimens from Bergamo (slide no. 184/4) are still present in the Collection. The length is about 1 mm.

The differences from the subspecies septentrionalis Sellnick in Hammer, 1944 (recently redescribed by Sellnick & Forsslund, 1955, p. 519, figs. 21-22) are of minor importance. The species has faint dorsal ridges in the anterior part of the notogaster, which appear to be absent in the subspecies.
