Sericothrombium brevimanum Berlese, 1910: 365

Diagnosis. Adults: Colors in life ranging from light red to dark red. Anterior process of crista metopica not clearly terminated; posterior process rounded at termination. Two types of dorsal opisthosomal setae (pDS); in the first type setae (pDS I) widened towards the end, usually asymmetrical at termination, a few unclear tubercles at the top and with an air bubble in the distal part. The second type (pDS II) widened distally, usually asymmetrical, with flattened and sometimes frayed top and with much more distinct tubercles at seta termination ( Mąkol, 2005) (Figure 1).
