Redescription of Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) Kuznetsovi (Denmark and Welbourn) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) Based on Holotype and Newly Collected Material From Tajikistan

“…These characters include: the number of dorsal solenostomes, the number of teeth on the movable digit of chelicera, the position of sternal setae ST3, the presence of preanal pores on ventrianal shield, and the reticulation of ventrianal shield. It should be noted that the aforementioned morphological characters are of great importance and are widely used in the species identification within the subgenus (Kolodochka 1992;Tsolakis and Ragusa 2020;Döker et al 2021;Khaustov et al 2021). Thus, the purpose of our study is to redescribe Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) kuznetsovi based on the holotype and the newly collected materials.…”
