Phytoseius duplus Ueckermann & Loots View in CoL

Phytoseius (Phytoseius) duplus Ueckermann & Loots 1985: 37 View in CoL .

Phytoseius duplus, Moraes et al. 2004: 237 View in CoL ; Chant & McMurtry 2007: 129.

This species belongs to the horridus species group. Its biology is unknown, this is the single report of that species since the original description and is the first report of that species from Mauritius Island.

World distribution: South Africa.

Specimens examined: 4 ♀♀ in total. Plaisance (aasl 55 m, lat. 20°25 ′ 59 ″ S, long. 57°40 ′ 44 ″ E), 4 ♀♀ on Litsea monopetala (Roxburgh) Person (Lauraceae) , 31/X/2018.

Remarks: this is the first mention of this species from Indian Ocean. The measurements of specimens collected in Mauritius Island ( Table 4 View Table 4 ) are very close to those given by Ueckermann and Loots (1985) for two specimens in the original description, except for the shorter dimensions of the ventral shields ( Table 4 View Table 4 ).
