Zoologische Verhandelingen 1959 40 1 93 Willmann, 1920 Willmann 1920 Arachnida Euphthiracaridae Pseudotritia GBIF Animalia Oribatida 37 38 Arthropoda species reticulata   Phtiracarus reticulatus Berlese, 1913, p. 102, pl. 8 figs., 98, 97a.  Tritia reticulata, Lombardini, 1936, p. So.  In the Berlese Collection I have seen two slides with specimens from the type-locality (Tiarno): nos. 31/22 and 216/28; the first-mentioned slide contains also other species.  The microsculpture of the tegument of the present species is reticulate; the hairs of notogaster and prodorsum are long, strong, and pointed. The sensillus is S-shaped.   Phtiracarus reticulatusis related to Pseudotritia punctulata. It is classified here with the genus Pseudotritia, although the structure of the tegument resembles that of Euphthiracarus.
