Euseius fructicolus (Gonzalez & Schuster) View in CoL

( Figs 11–16 View FIGURES 11 – 16 )

Specimens examined. 20 specimens from the type locality: Alajuela, Santiago, Chile on Prunus persica , collected in February, 2013.

The characteristics of the females collected in this study are very close to those of the holotype except for the longer r3 and R1. Denmark et al. (1999) considered this species to be a senior synonym of Euseius vivax (Chant & Baker) . In this paper, these are considered distinct species, as explained under E. vivax . Euseius fructicolus is most similar to Euseius stipulatus (Athias-Henriot) from which it is distinguished by the shape and size of the spermatheca as mentioned later in this paper in the key to species.
