Antennoseius boskopensis Ryke View in CoL

Antennoseius boskopensis Ryke, 1962a: 660 View in CoL .

Specimens examined: Site 94­13, 2 females, 1 male.

Antennoseius boskopensis was described from humus in South Africa ( Ryke, 1962a) and has apparently not been collected since. It is now reported from 3 specimens from clover pasture containing grass and capeweed at Plettenberg Bay. Little is known of the biology of Antennoseius except that A. janus Lindquist and Walter fed on nematodes, Collembola , and mites in laboratory culture (Lindquist & Walter, 1989). A. boskopensis is presumed to be predatory by analogy with that species.
