Neoseiulella canariensis Ferragut & Peña-Estevez View in CoL

Neoseiulella canariensis Ferragut & Peña­Estevez 2003: 159­161 View in CoL , Moraes et al. 2004: 292, Moraza & Peña­Estevez 2006: 59, Chant & McMurtry 2007: 147.

This species belongs to the tiliarum species group of the genus Neoseiulella View in CoL as setae JV3

are present and chelicerae have only few teeth. Neoseiulella canariensis was only known from the Macaronesia Region, from the Canary Islands ( Ferragut and Peña­Estevez 2003, 2007)

from where this species was described on various plants belonging to 15 botanical families and then from Madeira Island ( Papadoulis and Kapaxidi 2011). Its biology is totally unknown.

World distribution: Canary Islands, Madeira Island.

Specimens examined: a single specimen (1 ♀) collected during this study. Risco (1040 m

aasl, 32°47 ′ 56 ″ N, 17°11 ′ 8 ″ W), 1 ♀ on Persea indica Sprengel (Lauraceae) , 23/V/2019.

Remarks: morphological and morphometric characters and all measurements of our specimens ( Table 2) fit well with measurements of Ferragut and Peña­Estevez (2003) completed by Kanouh et al. (2012), except for the 20% larger dimensions of the genital shield. We have added in the table 2 measurements of some important characters not documented before as it is only the second record of that species from Madeira Island.
