Nothrus longipilus View in CoL (Berlese, 1910)

Angelia anauniensis var. longipila Berlese , 1910b, p. 381.

Berlese described the present species as a variety of Angelia anauniensis . In the short diagnosis Berlese mentions that the measurements are hardly greater (0.980 X 0.460 mm, posterior hairs probably included) than in anauniensis , but that the posterior notogastral hairs are twice as long and slender, although less than in sylvestris . Because Berlese (1896) already placed anauniensis in the synonymy of silvestris , this diagnosis appears incomprehensible.

In the Berlese Collection two slides are present: nos. 122/5, 6 from Mugello (Italy), both designated as type. The two specimens are tridactylous so that they do not belong to the silvestris group. The measurements are the following: length 0.860-0.910; breadth 0.445-0.455; h2 0.125; ps1 0.110 mm.

The species is apparently related to Nothrus borussicus Sellnick , but the posterior hairs are relatively shorter. Because specimens in the Berlese Collection, which are labelled as anauniensis and sylvestris , represent silvestris and biciliatus respectively, it appears not logical that Berlese described the species as a variety of anauniensis .
