Malaconothrus
[Genus Malaconothrus] Berlese established Malaconothrus as a subgenus when he described Lohmannia (Malaconothrus) egregius in 1904. He did not designate a type-species but he did compare L. (Malaconothrus) egregius with Nothrus monodactylus Michael, 1888. Subsequently, Sellnick (1928), Willmann (193...
