Type series
Holotype (1♀): Himachal Pradesh, India: (1♀) from Kangra Valley, Upper Dharamsala, Bhagsunath, June 4th 1926, by Dr Hora.
Type deposition
Holotype (1♀) at Naturhistorisches Museum Basel, Switzerland.
Diagnosis
Testudacarus tripeltatus can be differentiated from all other Asian species by distribution (India, Java, and Bhutan) and large size (dorsal length >700 µm). More research and updated descriptions are needed for a better diagnosis.
Distribution
India (Walter 1928[1]), Java (Walter 1929[2]), and Bhutan (Pešić and Smit 2007[18]).
