Berlese created the genus Nanhermannia in 1913 and designated " Hermannia nana Nic." (i.e. Nothrus nanus Nicolet) as type. He described two species ( elegantula , coronata ) and later added a fourth ( comitalis ).

There has been a considerable confusion in the nomenclature of the Nanhermannia species. Because the following corrections are rather radical, a new monograph of the genus and the family is badly needed; I hope to publish it as soon as possible.
