This is a common species in Europe and North America. According to Berlese (1896) it occurs throughout Italy. In the Collection many specimens are present, but I studied only the slide from the " Acarotheca italica " and one slide from the Berlese Collection (no. 213/22, Florence, park " delle Cascine"); both identifications are correct.

2) The preparations are those of the " Acarotheca italica ", prepared by Berlese for sale.
