Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) grewiae Zannou, Moraes & Oliveira View in CoL

Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) grewiae Zannou, Moraes & Oliveira in Ueckermann et al. 2008:

48.

This species belongs to the singularis species group as setae JV3 are absent and dorsal shield setae are short ( Chant and McMurtry 1994). The biology of that species is totally unknown. It was mentioned only from Kenya ( Ueckermann et al. 2008) based on single female.

World distribution: Kenya, Mayotte Island.

Specimens examined: A single ♀ specimen collected during this study. Chandra,

inside the village (448 m aasl, 12°11 ′ 56 ″ S, 44°27 ′ 52 ″ E), 1 ♀ on Citrus limon (L.) Burman ( Rutaceae ), 29/XI/2018.

Remarks: Morphological and morphometric characters of our specimens ( Table 5) fit well measurements of the original description by Ueckermann et al. (2008) and with measurements of specimens from Mayotte Island ( Kreiter et al. 2020a)
