Specimens examined.
Manabao (Cordillera Central),
30-IX-2008
, four females and one male on an unidentified species of
Rubiaceae
.
Remarks.
This species has previously been recorded from
Guadeloupe
and
Honduras
. The measurements of the specimens collected are very similar to those of the
holotype
and to those provided by
Moraes
et al
. (2000)
for specimens from
Guadeloupe
. The range of the lengths of Z4 of the specimens collected partially overlaps that given for the latter authors, being closer to the measurement of the
holotype
. The average measurements of four adult females followed by the respective ranges in parentheses are: dorsal shield, 280 µm long (270–290) and 168 wide (166–180); ventrianal shield, 95 µm long (88–100) and 59 wide (56–62). Measurements of setae as follows: j1: 28 (26–31), j3: 42 (40–45), j4, j5, j6: 10 (9–11), J2: 12, J5: 8 (8–9), z2: 15 (14–15), z4: 32 (30–33), z5: 10, Z1: 12 (11–12), Z4: 42 (40–47), Z5: 63 (62–66), s4: 61 (58–64), S2: 29 (26–33), S4: 18 (16–20), S5: 11 (10–12), r3: 29 (28–32), R1: 13 (11–14), Sge I: 28 (26–29), Sge II: 26 (25–26), Sge III: 24 (24–25), Sge IV: 57 (55–62), Sti IV: 36 (35–38), St IV: 63 (59–65).
