Typhlodromips amilus De View in CoL Leon
Typhlodromips amilus De Leon, 1967: 28 View in CoL , senior synonym of Typhlodromips bhoraii De View in CoL Leon, in Denmark et al., 1999: 37-38.
The biology of this species found only two times, in Trinidad Island on Cedrela View in CoL sp. and on an unknown Bromeliaceae View in CoL by De Leon (1967) and on Hevea brasiliensis View in CoL by Ferla and Moraes (2002) is unknown. This species is mentioned and indicated as a senior synonym of T. bhoraii De View in CoL Leon in the catalogue of Denmark et al. (1999).
Previous Records — Brazil, Trinidad ( De Leon, 1967; Denmark et al., 1999; Moraes et al., 2004b).
Specimens examined — Guadeloupe, Basse- Terre , Petit-Bourg , Domaine Duclos de l’INRA Antilles-Guyane, 16°12’N, 61°39’W, alt. 85 m, 1 ♀ on Spathodea campanulata, Kreiter coll., 3 January 2009 GoogleMaps .
Remarks — this is the first record of this species in the West Indies. The measurements of the single specimen collected fit rather well the measurements given by De Leon (1967) and by Denmark et al. (1999). All setae are however slightly shorter, between 1 and 5 µm, which represent less than 10 % of variation, which is less than the intraspecific variation of 20 % around the mean defined by Tixier (2012). In addition, Denmark et al. (1999) mentioned that T. amilus is a species submitted to variation in lengths of setae.
The measurements of the single adult female presently found are as follow: dorsal shield reticulated, dorsal shield length 355, width 183, six solenostomes (gd 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 9), j1 18, j3 20, j4 10, j5 13, j6 10, J2 13, J5 8, z2 15, z4 15, z5 11, Z1 13, Z4 33, Z5 53, s4 20, S2 16, S4 15, S5 10, r3 10, R1 13, Z4 and Z5 serrated, st1-st1 52, st2-st2 63, st1-st3 58, posterior margin of the sternal shield straight, metapodal 1 length 15, width 5, metapodal 2 length 10, width 2, ventrianal shield 100 long, 90 wide at level of anterior corners and 80 wide at level of anus, 3 poroids around the ventrianal shield, JV5 28, spermatheca 18 long and 8 width, SgeI 15, SgeII 13, SgeIII 13, StiIII 20, SgeIV 28, StiIV 13, StIV 30, macrosetae all knobbed, fixed digit of chelicerae 28, mobile digit of chelicerae 28, 8-9 denticles on fixed digit and 3 on mobile digit.
