Malaconothrus (Trimalaconothrus) indusiatus Berlese , 1916b, p. 336.

The types of the present species (slides nos. 177/29, 30) are still present in the Collection; the specimens originate from "Bosco della Sila, Cosenza" (South Italy). The measurements of a clean specimen are 0.640 X 0.375 mm (0.650 X 0.370 according to Berlese).

The species resembles T. grandis Van der Hammen (1952, p. 28, fig. 3a, b), but the notogastral hairs (especially e2 and h2) and the interlamellar hairs appear to be shorter; the S-shaped ridges on the prodorsum are less distinct.
