Epilohmannia View in CoL Berlese, 1916

Epilohmannia Berlese, 1916a, p. 176.

Lesseria Oudemans, 1917a, p. 78.

Epilohmannia Berlese (1916) has priority against Lesseria Oudemans (1917a). Both genera have the same species ( cylindrica Berlese ) as type, although Oudemans gave the name Lesseria szanisloi (Oudemans, 1915a) to his 1917a speeimens. (The name szanisloi is not in use, and below I note that it is indeed incorrect to do so). Berlese did not give a generic diagnosis: he designated the type and added three new species.

Berlese described seven representatives of the genus: two from Florence (also known by redescriptions), one from East Africa, one from South America, and three from North America (the type of one of these is lost) 1) The specimens must be remounted in order to enable sufficient comparisons (the characters mentioned in Berlese's diagnoses are still visible). The following is therefore little more than a catalogue.

1) Jacot (1934) described a species from Hawaii.
