Heminothrus capillatus
(Berlese, 1914)
Angelia capillata Berlese
, 1914, p. 132, pl. 11 (2) fig. 25.
Two type-specimens from Bergamo (slide no. 184/4) are still present in the Collection. The length is about 1 mm.
The differences from the subspecies
septentrionalis Sellnick
in Hammer, 1944 (recently redescribed by Sellnick & Forsslund, 1955, p. 519, figs. 21-22) are of minor importance. The species has faint dorsal ridges in the anterior part of the notogaster, which appear to be absent in the subspecies.
