Genus Rhizoglyphus Claparède, 1868

 

Introduction

The genus Rhizoglyphus has had a complicated history of taxonomic confusion (reviewed by Díaz et al., 2004). The Australasian members of the genus were revised by Fan & Zhang (2004), but some older records were probably based on misidentifications which have not always been resolved. In addition to the named species listed here, unidentified species of Rhizoglyphus have been reported from Australia by Clift (1983).
