Parapyroppia cornuta (Berlese, 1910) comb. n. Oribella cornuta Berlese, 1910: 265. Oribella cornuta Castagnoli & Pegazzano 1985: 90. Parapyroppia monodactyla Pérez-Ifiigo et Subias, 1978: 303, figs 1-8. syn. n. Parapyroppia monodactyla Bernini, Arcidiacono & Avanzati 1983: 191, figs 1-3, pl. 1-3. There is a long series of this species in the collection from different times and some of them labelled "tipico". I have seen nearly all the slides and all contain the same species. Some of them are in good condition. I designate the specimen in slide 93/36 as lectotype. It is no doubt that this species is identical with Parapyroppia monodactyla de­scribed by Pérez-Ifiigo et Subias. The original description was modern and complete, Bernini et al.'s (1983) redescrip­tion is also excellent. So the recognition of this species is not problematic. I publish only one drawing (Fig. 33) now from the lectotype only for the sake of proof. Dorycranosus splendens (Coggi, 1898) Cepheus splendens Coggi, 1898: 68, figs 1: 1-8. Liacarus alatus Berlese, 1904: 273. syn. n. Liacarus alatus Castagnoli & Pegazzano 1985: 8. Dorycranosus alatus Woolley 1969: 189, figs 13-14. Dorycranosus alatus Bernini, 1973: 381, figs. 7c-f, 8a-e, 9a-c. Liacarus moraviacus Willmann, 1954: 257, fig. 22. syn. n. Dorycranosus moraviacus Ghilyarov 1975: 181, fig. 371. Liacarus punctulatus Mihelcic, 1956: 154, fig. 1. syn. n. Dorycranosuspunctulatus Pérez-Ifiigo 1971: 270, figs 6-7. This species with its slides is in the Berlese Collection and its relationships were well discussed by Bernini (1973). He gave also a good redescription. But his final opini­non was that D. splendens and D. alatus are not identical. I studied the slides in the Ber­lese Collection (Figs 31-32), I saw Coggi' s publication and also studied the specimens which were determined earlier as D. moraviacus by me. On this basis I am sure that they belong to the same species. Therefore, D. alatus, D. moraviacus and D. punctulatus (which was redescribed by Pérez-Inigo) are the junior objective synonym of D. splen­dens. The interpretation of Krivolutsky in Ghilyarov 1975 of D. splendens seems to be incorrect, therefore, D. curtipilis Willmann, 1935 is a valid species. Oripoda australis Berlese, 1916 Oripoda australis Berlese, 1916: 310. Oripoda australis Castagnoli & Pegazzano 1985: 31. Only a single slide with one specimen (206/7) is present in the collection. It is con­sidered to be the holotype by monotypy. The exemplar is in exellent condition, well identifiable. In spite of the dorsoventral embedding the ventral side was also observable.
