Remarks: Grandjean (1965) suggested that Nothrus biciliatus C.L. Koch, 1841 was an unrecognizable species and that it would be preferable to use the name Nothrus anauniensis Canestrini and Fanzago, 1876 for the biciliatus of authors. According to Marshall et al. (1987), some North American records of this species might be confused with N. monodactylus ( Berlese, 1910) , N. terminalis Banks, 1910 and N. truncatus Banks, 1895 , all similar species.
