EULOHMANNIIDAE Grandjean, 1931

Grandjean (1931, p. 144) created a separate family Eulohmanniidae with the genus Eulohmannia as single representative. A few months later Willmann (1931, p. 95) introduced the same family name; he united the Eulohmanniidae and the Nanhermanniidae into a subcohors Diagastres. Grandjean (1956) demonstrated, however,that in fact Eulohmannia is not diagastric; he gives the name pseudodiagastry to the special condition of the notogaster. Originally Berlese considered Eulohmannia a subgenus of Lohmannia , but afterwards he classified it as separate genus in the tribes Michaelini (Berlese, 1913a) and Lohmannini (Berlese, 1916a) respectively.
