Berlese's Primitive Oribatid Mites Author van der Hammen, L. text Zoologische Verhandelingen 1959 40 1 93 http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/document/148866 journal article ORI111 0DC6B575-3CB3-41C1-A3EC-850520AE4487 Trhypochthonius Berlese, 1904 Trhypochthonius Berlese, 1904b, p. 27; 1913a, p. 154. Tripochthonius Berlese, 1910, p. 218. Berlese created the genus Trhypochthonius in 1904 with Hypocthonius tectorum as type; at the same time he described T. longisetus as a new species of the genus. In 1905 he described another species ( T. badius ) but he now spelt the generic name as Tripochtonius . Five years later Berlese (1910) published a key to the genera of the Hypochthoniidae , among which Tripochthonius (sic!) is mentioned; he mentions four representatives: tectorum (Berlese) , badius Berlese , longisetus Berlese , and americanus (Ewing) . Recently (Van der Hammen, 1956), I published a preliminary revision of the genus, in which longisetus and badius are referred to Trhypochthoniellus .
