Brevipalpus obovatus Donnadieu, 1875

Records in Bahia. Bondar, 1928: 39 (as Tenuipalpus bioculatus ); Flechtmann, 1976: 59 ;

Cavalcante et al. 2006: 1 ; Laranjeira et al. 2011: 17; Noronha and Cavalcante 2011: 453.

Remarks. Some works suggest that there is intraspecific variation between specimens previously classified as B. obovatus , as was found for the B. phoenicis and B. californicus species complexes, which could also indicate a complex of species ( Mesa et al. 2009 ; Navia et al. 2013 ; Alves et al. 2019). This species was not collected in the present study.
