Euseius ovaloides Quilici et al., 1997: 284 View in CoL ; Moraes et al., 2000; Quilici et al., 2000: 100; 242; Moraes et al., 2001: 43.

The biology of this species found only a few times in Madagascar ( Blommers, 1974), Papua-New Guinea ( Schicha and Gutierrez 1985), Seychelles (Schicha, 1987), Reunion Island, ( Quilici et al., 1997, 2000), Guadeloupe, Martinique and Marie-Galante ( Moraes et al., 2000; Kreiter et al., 2006) on various plants remains unknown. It was suspected to be a poorly active predator of tetranychid mites ( Gutierrez and Etienne, 1986).
