Phytoseius crinitus Swirski & Shechter View in CoL

Phytoseius (Dubininellus) crinitus Swirski & Shechter 1961: 102 View in CoL .

Phytoseius crinitus, Amitai & Swirski 1966: 21 View in CoL ; Swirski & Amitai 1966: 11; Denmark 1966: 66; Moraes et al. 1986: 220, 2004a: 236; Chant & McMurtry 2007: 129.

This species belongs to the horridus species group as setae J2 and R1 are absent ( Chant and McMurtry 1994). This species was recorded in several countries of Asia, in Burundi, Madagascar ( Demite et al. 2019) and was already known from La Réunion ( Quilici et al. 2000; Demite et al. 2019). If all details of collections were provided in the previous paper, measurements of specimens collected and identified were not given. Measurements of specimens collected during this study are provided in table 31. The biology of this species remains totally unknown.

Specimens examined: 8 ♀♀ in total, 5 ♀♀ measured. Saint-Pierre – Armeflhor Station (aasl 450 m, Long 55°31’9” E, Lat 21°18’14” S), 2 ♀♀ on P. americana , 15/12/2015 GoogleMaps ; Sainte- Rose – Anse des Cascades (aasl 5 m, Long 55°49’48” E, Lat 21°10’48” S), 3 ♀♀ on Terminalia catappa L., 27/12/2016 GoogleMaps ; Le Tampon – Ligne des 400 (aasl 463 m, Long 55°30’36” E, Lat 21°17’24” S), 2 ♀♀ on C. glauca , 10/1/2017; Saint-Anne – Bassin bleu (aasl 6 m, Long 55°45’0” E, Lat 21°4’ 48” S), 1 ♀ on Ipomoea sp., 15/1/2017.

Remarks: specimens of this species have been recorded and measured from Burundi. Measurements of our specimens from La Réunion ( Table 31 View Table 31 ) fit well with those of Burundi with sometimes slightly greater values, for example for setae s4 and Z4.

Values for both type of specimens are higher than those obtained for specimens from Asia ( Table 31 View Table 31 ).
