Tropicoseius cf. trinitatis ( Fain et al., 1977)

The species was described from Glaucis hirsutus (Gmelin, 1788) and also collected on Phaethornis guy in Trinidad ( Fain et al., 1977a, b). OConnor et al. (1991) collected the mite from the same host and from flowers of Heliconia hirsuta and H. bihai (Heliconiaceae) . The Heliconia spp. are probably exclusive host plants of this mite in Trinidad (Naskrecki & Colwell, 1998). This is the first record of it outside Trinidad.

Material examined. One female from Phaethornis superciliosus, Hitoy Cerere BR, August 2004, coll. I. Literak.
