Genus Storicricha Johnson, 1988 View in CoL

In describing this genus, which was based on two species from Sri Lanka, Johnson (1988) noted that there were no features distinguishing it from Acrotrichis except for the approximate metacoxae separated only by a narrow bifurcate extension of the metaventrum. Future research on the subgenera of Acrotrichis (in progress) may reduce the status of Storicricha to that level. Four additional species have been added to the genus recently from Peru ( Darby 2017b).
