new combination

Microphylellus mineus Knight, 1929a: 41 (n. sp.). HOLOTYPE: Female: ‘‘ Agric. Exp. Station, Gainesville , Fla., No 2415, J. R. W.’’ Deposited in the National Museum of Natural History , Washington, D.C.

The synonymy of Microphylellus with Plagiognathus leaves the placement of this species from Florida in question. The holotype, with the exception of four legs, is missing from the pin.
