Prototritia View in CoL Berlese, 1916
Prototritia Berlese, 1916, p. 65.
Berlese (1916) described Prototritia as a subgenus of Arthroplophora (" hoplophora " is spelt here without initial h); he mentioned tridactyly of the legs as the single differential character. The type of Prototritia is Arthroplophora (Prototritia) armadillo that is described together with a second species, A. (P.) vulpes . The subgenus is raised here to generic rank.
Grandjean (1932, p. 29) pointed to the fact that the description of Prototritia , and in particular that of A. (P.) armadillo reminds in some respects of Aedoplophora , but that identity is precluded because of the number of "coupures " and the structure of the claw segment.
