Tropacarus carinatus (C. L. Koch, 1841)

Hoplophora carinata C. L. Koch , 1841, fasc. 32 (9); Berlese, 1887a, fasc. 36 (1); 1896b, p. 19.

Tropacarus carinatus, Sellnick , 1928, p. 39; Willmann, 1931, p. 189, fig. 343; Jacot, 1936, p. 183; Strenzke, 1952, p. 132.

The identity of this characteristic species is certain. Berlese (1887a) recorded it from North Italy; in the Collection I studied only a specimen from Vallombrosa (no. 39/20).

According to Jacot (1936) and Strenzke (1952) the species mainly occurs in litter and moss in coniferous forests.
