Notes — Berlese (1917) in his work described this species as Urodinychus elegans Kram.

var. gallicus Berl. n. var. This variation was also noted by Wiśniewski and Hirschmann (1991)

in their catalogue. However, from the taxonomic point of view, it seems that there is no reason to distinguish this variation. With no doubt there is only one such species in Europe, and the differences stem from the range of geographical variability of the species.
