Prototritia armadillo Berlese (1916)

Arthroplophora (Prototritia) armadillo Berlese , 1916, p. 66.

There is only one slide of the species present in the Berlese Collection, viz. no. 160/22 from Italian Somaliland; the preparation is designated as type. The slide is in such a bad condition that only a few characters are visible. The sensillus is filiform. I established that the species is distinctly different from Aedoplophora .
