Eobrachychthonius latior
(Berlese, 1910)
Brachychthonius latior Berlese
, 1910, p. 220, pl. 19 fig. 38; Lombardini, 1936, p. 38.
Eobrachychthonius sexnotatus Jacot
, 1936b, p. 24, pl. 1 figs. 3, 4.
Eobrachychthonius latior
, Forsslund, 1957, p. 584, figs. 1-3.
As mentioned above, Forsslund placed
E. sexnotatus
in the synonymy of
E. latior
; a list of further synonyms is also given by him. I remark that Jacot (1936b, p. 25) erroneously cites Berlese's species as
Eobrachychthonius latus
(latus being a lapsus for
latior
); of course,
B. latus Jacot
(1936c, p. 248) is a different species.
E
. latior
was described after specimens from Lake City, Florida; it is now also known from Europe and other parts of North America.
