Platyseiella eliahui Ueckermann View in CoL
Platyseiella eliahui Ueckermann 1992: 20 View in CoL ; Moraes et al. 2004a: 259; Chant & McMurtry 2007: 131.
This species belongs to the platypilis species group as setae r3 are inserted on the dorsal shield and setae JV1 are off the ventrianal shield ( Chant and McMurtry 1994). It was only recorded from South Africa ( Demite et al. 2019). Its biology is totally unknown.
This is the first record of this species in La Réunion Island.
Specimens examined: 2 ♀♀ in total, both measured. Le Tampon – Grand Tampon, Janick Bénard farm (aasl 1100 m, Long 55°34’12” E, Lat 21°16’48” S), 2 ♀♀ on P. aquilinum , 7/1/2016.
Remarks: measurements of morphological characters ( Table 36 View Table 36 ) agree well with those obtained for specimens from South Africa and Zambia.
