Platynothrus Berlese, 1913
Platynothrus Berlese, 1913. p. 99.
Berlese created the genus in 1913; he published no diagnosis, but mentioned " Nothrus palliatus (= N. bistriatus K. )" as type of the genus, and added Nothrus punctatus L. Koch and N. peltifer C. L. Koch . As Sellnick & Forsslund (1955) already mentioned, palliatus is the nymph of peltifer (syn. bistriata sensu Nicolet) so that the correct name of the type-species is now Platynothrus peltifer . I have added one species ( robustior ), which Berlese described as a Heminothrus . As mentioned above I restricted Platynothrus to species of which the notogaster shows distinct dorsal ridges.
