Notes
edit- Melanotydaeus was first described as a subgenus of Lasiotydaeus (Berlese, 1910a: 211) to accommodate 5 species: L. (M.) mammillaris, L. (M.) humeralis, L. (M.) simplex, L. (M.) raphignathoides and L. (M.) styliger.
- A 6th species was added by Berlese (1910b: 346), L. (M.) venustulus, and a 7th species was added by Halbert (1920), L. (M.) brevistylus.
- It was raised to full generic level by Thor (1933: 48) and divided into two subgenera, Melanotydaeus (with humeralis and simplex) and Stylotydeus (with styliger and brevistylus).
- It was synonymized with Tydeus by Baker & Wharton (1952: 191) who misspelled the genus name (Melanotydeus instead of Melanotydaeus).
