There are five slides (164/41-45) in the collection, three of them (164/41-43) labelled "tipico". I designate 164/42 as the lectotype, which is in a very good condition. The figure was made after this specimen. Complementary morphological characters: Rostrum incised (Fig. 46), tutorium with a sharply pointed apex. Lamellae wide, comparatively short and running far from each other. Translamella also wide, lamellar cusps short (Fig. 45). Head of sensillus clavate, directed forwards. Dorsosejugal suture interrupted medially. Four pairs of typical, elongated porose area, all in marginal position. Ten pairs of alveoli also present. Six pairs of genital setae and the position of adanal setae (adi and ad2 in postanal, ad3 in paraanal position) well observable also from dorsal aspect. Discidium well developed. All legs tridactylous, all legs without dilated setae. Solenidia (py and 92 arising from a common process. ?Podoribates rectus Berlese, 1916 Podoribates rectus Berlese, 1916: 309. Podoribates rectus Castagnoli & Pegazzano 1985: 352. There is a good series of slides (183/40-43) of this species, but only 183/40 is labelled "tipico". I follow Berlese'

s designation and I regard this specimen as the lectotype. Complementary morphological characters. Rostrum rounded, without a median incisure. Tutorium blunt at tip, rostral setae arising on them (Fig. 47). Lamellae comparatively long, lamellar cusps short. Translamella well developed. Sensillus small, directed backwards. Dorsosejugal suture interrupted medially. Ten pairs of alveoli and four pairs of porose area present on the notogaster, porose area A] is removed comparatively far from the lateral margin. Six pairs of genital setae visible. All legs tridactylous, solenidia (py and (p2 arising from a common process. Remarks. Its belonging to the genus Podoribates Berlese, 1908 is problematic, because some characters, e.g. the form of the tutorium and the position of porose area Ay, are not congeneric with the type species. In spite of this fact, on the basis of the form of lamellae and the sensillus, the interrupted dorsosejugal suture, the absence of the true setae and the form of the legs this species seems to be related with the other Podoribates species. Oribatella trichoptera Berlese, 1916 Oribatella trichoptera Berlese, 1916: 174. Oribatella trichoptera Castagnoli & Pegazzano 1985: 420. The single specimen in slide 168/9 labelled "tipico" is the holotype by monotypy. The specimen is damaged but observable. Complementary morphological characters. Lamellae connected with each other at their basis, intercuspidial tooth lacking. Teeth of lamellar cusps subequal in length, inner ones slightly longer than the outer ones (Fig. 49). Intercuspidial incision rounded. Sensillus comparatively short, blunt at tip, well pilose. Rostral apex (Fig. 48) pointed at tip,
