Specimen examined. Cananéia, February 2001, 1 female on unidentified Lauraceae .

Dorsal shield 335 long and 235 wide. Setae j1 30, j3 12, j4 10, J5 10, j6 10, J2 12, J5 5, z2 13, z4 13, z5 12, Z1 12, Z4 12, Z5 50, s4 15, S2 12, S4 17, S5 15, r3 17, R1 12. Distances between St1 - St3 63, St2 - St2 61, St5 - St5 69. Ventrianal shield 100 long, 57 wide at level of ZV 2 and 71 wide at anus level. Movable cheliceral digit 24 long; fixed cheliceral digit 22 long. Calyx of spermatheca 22 long.

Remarks. The specimen collected in this study is very close to E. inouei (Ehara & Moraes) (=. Amblyseius (Euseius) inouei Ehara & Moraes, 1998: 59 ), which has been collected from Brazil (Moraes et al., 2004a; Furtado et al., 2006; Castro & Moraes, 2010; Cruz et al., 2012), Uruguay (Moraes et al., 2004a) and Argentina (Furtado et al., 2007). It differs in having a shorter j3 and s4 (30 (29–30) and 35 (35–36) in the original description) and pointed Sti IV (knob-tipped in E. inouei ). Examination of additional specimens is needed to confirm whether this specimen belongs to a new species.
