Eobrachychthonius latior

van der Hammen, L., 1959, Berlese's Primitive Oribatid Mites, Zoologische Verhandelingen 40, pp. 1-93 : 18-19

Eobrachychthonius latior (Berlese, 1910)

Brachychthonius latior Berlese , 1910, p. 220, pl. 19 fig. 38; Lombardini, 1936, p. 38.

Eobrachychthonius sexnotatus Jacot , 1936b, p. 24, pl. 1 figs. 3, 4.

Eobrachychthonius latior , Forsslund, 1957, p. 584, figs. 1-3.

As mentioned above, Forsslund placed E. sexnotatus in the synonymy of E. latior ; a list of further synonyms is also given by him. I remark that Jacot (1936b, p. 25) erroneously cites Berlese's species as Eobrachychthonius latus (latus being a lapsus for latior ); of course, B. latus Jacot (1936c, p. 248) is a different species.

E. latior was described after specimens from Lake City, Florida; it is now also known from Europe and other parts of North America.
