NANHERMANNIIDAE Sellnick, 1928

Berlese classified Nothrus nanus Nicolet with the family Nothridae . At first he regarded it as a Hermannia, but in 1913 he created the genus Nanhermannia with nanus as type. Sellnick (1928) placed this genus in a separate family Nanhermanniidae . Willmann (1931) united the Nanhermanniidae and the Eulohmanniidae in a subcohors Diagastres; as Willmann already supposed, this classification is artificial. Grandjean (1954) considered the Nanhermanniidae a family of the Nothroidea, and this classification is used in the present paper.

Two genera of the family are known: Nanhermannia and Masthermannia .
