Im. Nicolet and Berlese identify this species with 1). auritus C. L. Koch, if so 

 Nieolet's name fails, but his drawing and Berlese's show 4 concave longitudinal furrows 

 on Dors, of Abd.. ending in points on ant. margin, these are not present in Koch's 

 drawing nor on the English specimens, and the hairs on Dors, of Abd. are larger and 

 less curved than those of D. auritus. probably therefore this is a good species, but it 

 may be a variety of D. auritus. L. ca. 1 mm.
