Arthrhoplophora Berlese , 1910

Arthrhoplophora 1) Berlese, 1910, p. 219; 1910a, p. 267.

The present genus (with A. paradoxa as type and single representative) is remarkable to such a degree that it appears doubtful whether it indeed belongs to the Protoplophoridae . Further investigations are, however, needed to arrive at a more definite conclusion.

1) This is the original spelling of the generic name; afterwards Berlese and other authors omitted the initial h of " hoplophora ".
