Hermannia gibba (C. L. Koch, 1839)

Nothrus gibbus C. L. Koch , 1839, fasc. 29 (4).

Angelia piceus , Berlese, 1885c, pp. 9, 10.

Nothrus piceus , Berlese, 1886a, fasc. 33 (6).

Hermannia picea , Berlese, 1896b, p. 31; 1913a, p. 157, prep. II-13.

Berlese contributed the species to the genera Angelia , Nothrus , and Hermannia successively. In the " Acari Myriapoda et Scorpiones " (1886a) he mentioned Nothrus convexus C. L. Koch and Hermannia crassipes Nicolet as Synonyms. In fact Nothrus piceus C. L. Koch , and Nothrus convexus C. L. Koch are different species, whilst Berlese overlooked that the species described by him is identical with Nothrus gibbus C. L. Koch .

H. gibba is present in the Acarotheca italica, but appears to be absent from the Berlese Collection.

I remark that little has been published on the morphology of this common species, although it appears highly interesting; I refer to my future monograph.
