Traklosia

It consists of three species found in Brazil and Cuba, and they are parasites of millipedes.

In 2015, Ernest C. Bernard and Gary Phillips coined Traklosia as nomen novum for Robertia.

[1] Traklosia is the type genus of the family Traklosiidae, which was changed from Robertiidae.

[1] Travassos and Kloss initially placed their genus Robertia in a new subfamily Robertiinae in the family Thelastomatidae.

[2] T. longicauda was described in 1995 by Nayla García, Alberto Coy, and Marianela Álvarez, all parasitologists at the Cuban Academy of Sciences.

[5] Males have a caudal extremity which suddenly narrows half-way making its end thread-like.

[5] T. cubana and T. longicauda are both found in Cuba: T. cubana has been recorded in Guantánamo along the Carretera Central between Imías and Baracoa, and T. longicauda has been recorded in the National Botanical Garden in Havana.
