Tribe Amblyseiini

Main distinguishing characteristics. Seta S4 usually present; ratio s4 / Z1>3.1 (except Paraamblyseius ); s4, Z4 and Z5 much longer than other setae. Posterior margin of sternal shield without median lobe.

Remarks. Chant & McMurtry (2004a) divided this tribe in three subtribes ( Amblyseiina Chant & McMurtry , Arrenoseiina Chant & McMurtry and Proprioseiopsina Chant & McMurtry ). They included the following genera in Amblyseiina : Amblyseiella Muma , Amblyseius Berlese , Chelaseius Muma & Denmark, Graminaseius Chant & McMurtry , Honduriella Denmark & Evans, Maunaseius Chant & McMurtry and Transeius Chant & McMurtry ). Chant & McMurtry (2004b) included the following genera in Arrenoseiina : Arrenoseius Wainstein , lphiseiodes De Leon, Paraamblyseius Muma , Pararrenoseius Chant & McMurtry and Phytoscutus Muma. Subsequently, Chant & McMurtry (2005a) included the following genera in Proprioseiopsina : Flagroseius Karg , Proprioseiopsis Muma , Proprioseiulus Muma & Denmark, Swirskiseius Denmark & Evans and Tenorioseius Wainstein. The same subtribes and genera were maintained by Chant & McMurtry (2007) within Amblyseiini . Some years later, Denmark & Evans (2011) included Parachelaseius in Amblyseiina . Each subtribe of Amblyseiini reported from Brazil include only species of the following genera: Amblyseiina ( Amblyseiella , Amblyseius , Chelaseius , Graminaseius , Honduriella and Transeius ), Arrenoseiina ( Arrenoseius , Iphiseiodes , Paraamblyseius and Phytoscutus ) and Proprioseiopsina ( Proprioseiopsis ).
