*) The genus Angelia is formed to receive part of Koch's genus Nothrus including 

 N. palustris, which appears to be Berlese's type, but as this is Koch's type it cannot 

 be moved into a new genus but must remain the type of Nothrus. if the genus were 

 divided the other group should be renamed, but the present author does not consider 

 division necessary. A. D. Michael.
