Melanotydaeus humeralis Berlese, 1910

  • Type locality: in mosses, near Palermo, Sicily (Italy).
  • Holotype: Berlese collection (Stazione di Entomologia Agraria, Firenze)

Synonyms[edit]

Notes[edit]

  • Type species of the genus.
  • "The type, in the Berlese collection, is in extremely poor condition, and it is impossible to know what the genus actually is" (Baker, 1965: 102).
  • In 1965, it was"the only known species in the genus" (Baker, 1965: 103).
  • All the other tydeids described before by Baker "form a small group within the genus Tydeus" (Baker, 1965: 102).
  • "Ancient" species according to Kaźmierski (1998: 357)
  • Species not listed by Silva et al. (2016)
