Eutetranychus carinae Meyer, 1974
This species has sub-spatulate setae, dorsolaterals and h 1 set on very weak tubercles, dorsocentrals c1, d1, e1 and f1 not set on tubercles. Solenidion of loosely associated setae on tarsus I about two thirds length of proximal tactile seta whereas that of tarsus II is same length or slightly longer than proximal tactile seta. Dorsal striations faint compared to other two species of Eutetranychus examined.
Leg chaetotaxy as follows: tarsi 12(1)-10(1)-8(1)-8(1); tibiae 9(1)-6-5-6; genua 5-5-2-2; femora 8-6-2-1; coxae 2-2-1-1.
Specimens examined: Three females and one male collected on Ficus burkei (Moraceae) from Alupe area, Busia district (N00°29.870'; E034°07.732') and two females collected on Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae) from Marigat, Baringo district (N00°28.132'; E036°00.906').
Remarks: This species was first recorded on Ficus sp. and Morus sp. from South Africa ( Meyer, 1974). It has been reported from several Ficus species and it seems to show preference for the members of the family Moraceae . This species has previously been reported from South Africa only and thus its distribution records are still very limited. They are grey in colour
