Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) grewiae Zannou, Moraes & Oliveira Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) grewiae Zannou, Moraes & Oliveira in Ueckermann et al. 2008: 48. Diagnosis. The male of this species has five solenostomes (gd2, gd4, gd6, gd8 and gd9) similar to adult female, all dorsal setae lanceolate, strongly serrate and inserted on tubercules, except for J5 smooth, setiform and sharp-tipped, peritreme extending to level of j1, three setae on the ventrianal shield with small punctiform pre-anal solenostomes, three thick macrosetae strongly knobbed. This is a unique combination of characters which make specimens of this species very different from all other species within the genus Typhlodromus, subgenus Anthoseius. Description of adult male (n = 4, Figs. 14 a-d) Dorsum (Fig. 14a) – Dorsal shield strongly ornamented, 231 (220–240) long and 136 (130–150) wide, with five solenostome well visible (gd2, gd4, gd6, gd8 and gd9), only two pairs of poroids visible (probably because of the strong ornamentation), 20 pairs of dorsal setae (r3 and R1 on dorsal shield): j1 13 (12–14), j3 13 (11–15), j4 12 (11–13), j5 13 (11–14), j6 15 (14–15), J2 17 (15–20), J5 8 (8–9), z2 12 (10–12), z3 12 (9–13), z4 15 (13–18), z5 14 (13–15), Z4 21 (19–23), Z5 26 (24–29), s4 14 (14–15), s6 17 (15–18), S2 18 (18–19), S4 19 (18–20), S5 16 (14–18), r3 14 (13–15), R1 12 (12–13). All setae lanceolate, plumose, strongly serrate and inserted on tubercules with presence of these tubercules starting back to a line constituted of setae r3, s4 and z5 until the posterior part of the dorsum. Seta J5 is the only seta smooth, setiform and sharp-tipped. Peritreme and peritremal plate (Fig. 14a) – Extending to level of j1 ; peritremal plate fused with dorsal shield at level of j3. Venter (Fig. 14b) – Sternogenital shield smooth with few anterior and posterior striae, with five pairs of setae (st1-st5) and three pairs of poroids (iv1-iv3); distances st1-st1 37 (35–38), st2-st2 52 (50–54), st3-st3 50 (49–50), st1-st5 95 (93–98), st4-st4 36 (34–38), st5-st5 28 (25–30). Ventrianal shield 88 (83–93) long, 111 (105–115) wide at level of anterior corners, and 56 (50–63) wide at level of para-anal setae. Ventrianal shield with few striae, with three pairs of pre-anal setae (JV1, JV2 and ZV2), and a pair of small punctiform gv3 mesad JV2, 19 (18–20) apart. Unsclerotized cuticle around ventrianal shield with a pair of setae (JV5). Seta JV5 lanceolate and strongly serrate, 15 long. Chelicera (Fig. 14c) – Fixed digit 16 (15–17) long, with no teeth visible; and movable digit 18 (17–19) long, with one tooth visible. Spermatodactyl shaft straight, shaft 18 (17–18) long, branch 3. Legs (Fig. 14d) – One macroseta only on leg IV: St IV 15 (13–15), blunt and knobbed. Genua II and III both with seven setae. Chaetotactic formula of genu II: 2-2/0, 2/0-1 ; genu III: 1-2/1, 2/0-1. Specimens examined. Four ♂♂ collected during this study, measured and deposited as complementary voucher material. MAYOTTE ISLAND: Combani, gîte du Mont-Combani (437 m aasl, 12°48′23″ S, 45°9′17″ E), 1 ♂ on Cananga odorata (Lamark) Hooker & Thomson (Annonaceae) or Ylang-Ylang, 25/XI/2018. MOHELI ISLAND: Bangoma, top of the village (42 m aasl, 12°17′15″ S, 43°43′40″ E), 3 ♂♂ (and 1 ♀ on the same slide) on Dendrocnide moroides (Weddel) Chew (Urticaceae), 4/XII/2018. Voucher material. Four males on two slides (one with one female) are deposited in Institut Agro (Montpellier SupAgro) – INRAE Acarology collection, Montpellier, France. Remarks. Characters of males are very similar to that of females, except of course for length of setae and few other characters. Ventrianal shield of the male is slightly striate and the ventrianal shield of the female is entirely smooth. Morphological characteristics of this species are so unique within the genus Typhlodromus, subgenus Anthoseius that is possible to identify the species based on a single male alone., Published as part of Kreiter, Serge, Payet, Rose-My, Abo-Shnaf, Reham & Douin, Martial, 2021, New Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) of Mascareignes and Comoros Archipelagos (Indian Ocean): one new record, three new species groups and description of six new species and of six unknown males, pp. 845-889 in Acarologia 61 (4) on pages 880-882, DOI: 10.24349/Krky-e23s, http://zenodo.org/record/7159750, {"references":["Ueckermann E.

Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) lobatus Zannou, Moraes & Oliveira Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) lobatus Zannou, Moraes & Oliveira in Ueckermann et al. 2008: 59. Diagnosis. The male of this species has four solenostomes (gd2, gd4, gd6 and gd9), all dorsal setae sub-equal in length, smooth, except for Z4 and Z5 serrate and knobbed, peritreme extending to level between j3 and z2, four setae on ventrianal shield, one macroseta on basitarsus of leg IV, knobbed. This is a unique combination of characters that makes specimens of this species very different from all other species within the genus Typhlodromus, subgenus Anthoseius. Description of adult male (n = 2, Figs. 16 a-d) Dorsum (Fig. 16a) – Dorsal shield with some reticulations close to edges of dorsum from seta j3 to anteriad of R1 and less marked at level of setae S2- S4, 200–203 long and 105–125 wide, with only four pairs of visible solenostomes (gd2, gd4, gd6 and gd9), five pairs of poroids visible, 20 pairs of dorsal setae (r3 and R1 on dorsal shield): j1 13–14, j3 23, j4 17, j5 17, j6 20, J2 23, J5 9–10, z2 14–15, z3 20, z4 23–25, z5 19, Z4 23–24, Z5 25, s4 23 –24, s6 23 –24, S2 25, S4 20 –22, S5 18 –20, r3 20, R1 18. All setae smooth and sharp-tipped, except for Z4 and Z5 serrate and knobbed. Peritreme and peritremal plate (Fig. 16a) – Extending to level between j3 and z2, much closer to z2 ; peritremal plate fused with dorsal shield at level between z4 and s4. Venter (Fig. 16b) – Sternogenital shield smooth with few lateral striae, with five pairs of setae (st1-st5) and three pairs of poroids (iv1-iv3). Distances st1-st1 32–38, st2-st2 38–39, st3-st3 38–40, st1-st5 90–91, st4-st4 31–33, st5-st5 28–30. Ventrianal shield 84–88 long, 80–100 wide at anterior corners and 40–50 wide at level of para-anal setae. Ventrianal shield reticulate with four pairs of pre-anal setae (JV1-JV3 and ZV2) and no solenostome; a pair of iv5 and two pairs of ivo discernible. Unsclerotized cuticle arround ventrianal shield with a pair of setae (JV5). Seta JV5 smooth, 16–18 long. Chelicerae (Fig. 16c). Fixed digit 15 long, with three teeth discernible; and movable digit 16 long, with one tooth discernible. Spermatodactyl shaft 13–14 and branch 7. Legs (Fig. 16d). Legs IV with one knobbed macroseta similar to adult female on basitarsus IV: StIV 19–20. Chaetotactic formula of genua II and III similar to adult female: genu II 2-2/0, 2/0-1 ; genu III 1-2/1, 2/0-1. Specimens examined.

Two ♂♂ on two slides are deposited in Institut Agro (Montpellier SupAgro) – INRAE Acarology collection, Montpellier, France. Remarks. Characters of males are very similar to that of females, except of course for length of setae and other characters. Ventrianal shield of the male is reticulate, while that of female not. All other characters are similar to adult female, and the male of this species is very similar to males of other species, making difficult the identification of the species without collection of males and females together., Published as part of Kreiter, Serge, Payet, Rose-My, Abo-Shnaf, Reham & Douin, Martial, 2021, New Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) of Mascareignes and Comoros Archipelagos (Indian Ocean): one new record, three new species groups and description of six new species and of six unknown males, pp. 845-889 in Acarologia 61 (4) on pages 884-886, DOI: 10.24349/Krky-e23s, http://zenodo.org/record/7159750, {"references":["Ueckermann E.

Typhlodromips culmulus, Moraes et al. 1986: 139, 2004b: 210 ; Chant & McMurtry 2005c: 327, 2007: 61. In each upper boxes of the first line, the first name is the name of the species (for example amantis), the second line of name(s) is name(s) of describer(s) (for examaple Chaudhri,Akbar & Rasool for amantis) and and the third line is the source of measurements (for example Chaudhri et al. 1979 for amantis) This species belongs to the culmulus species group of the genus Typhlodromips with nine other species. It is also probably a type III species (McMurtry and Croft 1997 ; McMurtry et al. 2013), i.e., a polyphagous generalist predator. However, its biology remains totally unknown. It was already recorded on Mauritius Island, but only one record based on a single female and a single location (Kreiter et al. 2018a). It was also recorded in La Réunion Island, but with few specimens collected after intensive surveys (Kreiter et al. 2020b). This species seems rather rare. Specimens examined. Two ♀♀ collected during this study. MAURITIUS ISLAND: Mare aux Vacoas (581 m aasl, 20°22′05″ S, 57°29′31″ E,), 2 ♀♀ on Ludwigia octovalvis (Jacquin) Raven (Onagraceae), 5/XI/2018. Previous Records. Kenya, Lesotho, South Africa. Remarks.

MAURITIUS ISLAND. Curepipe, Anderson Street (560 m aasl, 20°19′11′′ S, 57°31′52′′ E), one ♂ (along with eight ♀♀ on the same leaves of the same plant collected in the same time) on Araucaria columnaris (Forster) Hook (Araucariaceae), 4/XI/2018. Voucher material. One male on one slide is deposited in Institut Agro (Montpellier SupAgro) – INRAE Acarology collection, Montpellier, France. Differential diagnosis and remarks. This species belongs to the obtusus species group as seta z4 is minute and female ventral shield is not vase-shaped or divided. It belongs to the andersoni species subgroup as the spermatheca has a differentiated atrium, a calyx not dotted or annulated, not swollen basally and calyx dish-, cup-, bell- or V-shaped. The following combination of characters, indicated below in the description of the male of this species, is quite similar to the few described males of species of Amblyseius belonging to the obtusus species group and to the andersoni species subgroup. Not many characters allow to distinguish it from all males of other species if no females are collected in the same time: the peritreme reaching level of j1, absence of reticulation of the dorsal shield, some dorsal setae lengths, especially z2, z4, r3 and S2 approximately of the same length (12–15), additional macrosetae on all other legs than leg IV, macrosetae of leg IV not subequal, a sternogenital shield smooth, ventrianal shield reticulate, only three pairs of pre-anal setae, a pair of crateriform gv3 between JV2. All described males of the large species subgroup andersoni have similar ventrianal shield reticulate with three pairs of pre-anal setae. Characters of males are very similar to that of adult females, except of course for length of setae and few other characters. The only difference is that ventrianal shield of the male is moderately reticulate, while the ventrianal shield of the female is not., Published as part of Kreiter, Serge, Payet, Rose-My, Abo-Shnaf, Reham & Douin, Martial, 2021, New Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) of Mascareignes and Comoros Archipelagos (Indian Ocean): one new record, three new species groups and description of six new species and of six unknown males, pp. 845-889 in Acarologia 61 (4) on page 860, DOI: 10.24349/Krky-e23s, http://zenodo.org/record/7159750, {"references":["Prasad V. 1968.

Typhlodromips ivoloinae (Blommers 1974): 146 (synonymy according to Ueckermann & Loots 1988). This species belongs to the culmulus species group of the genus Typhlodromips with nine other species. It was described under the name ivoloinae by Blommers (1974) from Madagascar on Citrus lemon (L.) Burman (Rutaceae). Mayotte Island is approximately 340 km away from Madagascar coasts and it is not surprising to find this species on a close island. The species was not reported from Mascareignes Archipelago. Its biology is totally unknown. World distribution: Angola, Benin, Cameroon, DR Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Sierra Leone. Specimens examined: a single ♀ collected during this study. Coconi, Lyc��e Agricole (189 m aasl, 12��50 ��� 7 ��� S, 45��8 ��� 11 ��� E), 1 ♀ on Carica papaya L. (Caricaceae), 26/XI/2018.

Amblyseius (Amblyseius) tamatavensis, Ehara 2002: 33; Ehara & Amano 2002: 322. Amblyseius tamatavensis belongs to the obtusus species group and the aerialis species subgroup which contains 46 species (Chant and McMurtry 2004). It seems to fit the functional type III-b (generalist predators living on glabrous leaves) group defined by McMurtry et al. (2013). Cavalcante et al. (2017) reported this species as a promising natural enemy of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius). Experimental releases of this predator on caged plants in a screenhouse caused the reduction of the density of B. tabaci on pepper plants by up to 60���80 % (Massaro and Moraes 2019). It can be easily produced in large numbers (Massaro et al. 2018) when fed with astigmatine mites, which could allow the mass production for augmentative biological control. This species is reported in tropical areas from over 20 countries around the world (Africa, Asia, America and Oceania). It was recorded from La R��union Island (Quilici et al. 2000; Kreiter et al. 2020c), from Rodrigues Island (Kreiter and Abo-Shnaf 2020a) and from Mauritius Island (Ferragut and Baumann 2019; Kreiter and Abo-Shnaf 2020b). Sources of measurements ��� Madagascar 1: Blommers (1974); Madagascar 2: Denmark & Muma (1989); ���: not provided. World distribution: this species was described from Madagascar, but is actually widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, America, Asia and the Pacific Islands. Specimens examined: 4 specimens in total, 3 ♀♀ and 1 ♂. Combani, grower farm (104 m aasl, 12��47 ��� 14 ��� S, 45��7 ��� 57 ��� E), 3 ♀♀ on Capsicum annuum L. (Solanaceae), 26/XI/2018 and 1 ♂ on Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck (Rutaceae), 26/XI/2018. Remarks: this species was described from Madagascar (Blommers 1974), then was mentioned in the Indian Ocean from La R��union Island (Quilici et al. 2000).
