Type species: Indotritia krakatauensis Sellnick, 1923 . Diagnosis — Median carina absent; one or two pairs of lateral carinae present; bothridial squamae situated above bothridia; sensilli usually setiform, smooth; interlamellar setae arising posterolaterally, rostral setae in anterior median position; posterior median apodeme absent. Notogaster with 14 pairs of setae; a terminal sinus present; vestigial setae f 1 situated anterior or ventral to h 1 setae; openings of opisthonotal glands ( gla ) and lyrifissures: ia , im , ip , ih , ips . Ventral region: setae h of infracapitular mentum usually very long, considerably longer than distance between them; palps five-segmented, but its genua and femora not hinged, palpal setal formula: 0-2-0-2-9(1); genito-aggenital scissures incomplete, these plates are fused anteriorly; internal transversal apodeme present; ano-genital cleft present or absent, if present, mostly short; genital plates with an extension anteriorly; eight or nine pairs of genital setae present. Legs heterotridactylous, with normal chaetome; solenidia on tarsi II with coupled setae; solenidia on genua IV present; setae d on tibiae IV reduced and coupled with the solenidia (updated from Niedbała 2011 ). Remarks — The concept of higher taxa in the Euphthiracaroidea is related to the fusion of the genital and aggenital plates, and anal and adanal plates, so I think the separation of these plates is a sufficient argument to divide Indotritia into three sub-genera: Indotritia ( Indotritia ) , Indotritia ( Afrotritia ) and Indotritia ( Zeaotritia ) . Distribution — Cosmopolitan.
