Trhypochthonius tectorum (Berlese, 1896)

Hypocthonius tectorum Berlese , 1896, fasc. 78 (8).

Trhypochthonius tectorum , Lombardini, 1936, p. 50.

T. tectorum was described as a Hypochthonius because of the observation of a transverse groove that later appeared to be an artefact.

Berlese mentions that he collected many specimens, especially in moss on roofs in Venice, Florence, Naples, etc. I collected indeed specimens on a roof in Florence; they can be regarded as topotypes. The identity of the common species is certain.
