“…A Chinese mite so far assigned to A, newsami (Ehara & Lee 1971;Tseng 1983;Chen et al 1984;Wu et al 1997) should be referred to A. cantonensis (Schicha 1982(Schicha , 1987Ehara 2002). In addition, A, cantonensis from Thailand was also misidentified as A. newsami by Ehara & Bhandhufalck (1977) (Ehara 2002 Female.…”

-Twelve species of the mite family Phytoseiidae are reported from West Sumatra, Indonesia. Amblyseius (Amblyseius) sumatrensis sp. nov. is described and illustrated. Eleven named species are recorded for the first time in Sumatra. The male of Amblyseius (Neoseiulus) circellatus Wu & Li 1983, previously unknown, is described. Key words -Acari, fauna, Indonesia, new species, Phytoseiidae, Sumatra Mites of the family Phytoseiidae are ranked among the effective biological control agents for phytophagous mites on agricultural crops in many parts of the world. There is very little information about phytoseiid mites from Sumatra, Indonesia. Prior to the present work, Typhlodromus heveae Oudemans 1930 and T. hevearum Oudemans 1930 were described from Medan, N. Sumatra on Hevea sp. Oomen (1982) found that Amblyseius largoensis (Muma 1955) was in association with the scarlet mite Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes 1939) on tea plants in Sumatra and Java. This paper reports 12 species of phytoseiids, one of which is described as new and 11 are first recorded from Sumatra. The collections on which this study is based were made by Dr. Akio Takafuji, Kyoto University, during December of 1981 in West Sumatra.The setal nomenclature follows that of Rowell et al. (1978). The generic and subgeneric concepts adopted in this paper generally follows those of Ehara & Amano (1998). All the measurements are given in micrometers, and those of the holotype of the new species are in parentheses following the mean. The holotype and part of the paratypes of the new species are deposited in the collection of the National Science Museum, Tokyo; the remainder of the paratypes will be retained in the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense, Bogor, Indonesia. Wu et al. 1997, p. 77, fig. 47. Female. Body slender; dorsal shield reticulate on anterolateral area, with at least 6 pairs of solenostomes (Fig. 1). Setae on dorsal shield: Z5 the longest, stout, barbed; remaining setae much shorter, smooth. Setae r3 longer than R1, both setae smooth. Peritreme extending forward to level between z2 and z4 (between coxae II and III); posterior extension of peritrematal shield not observable. Sternal shield ill-defined, with 3 pairs of setae; metasternal platelets slender (Fig. 2). Ventrianal shield much longer than wide, much narrower than genital shield, with lateral margins concave; 3 pairs of preanal setae and pair of large crescentic solenostomes (Fig. 3). Two pairs of very slender metapodal platelets. Spermathecal cervix fundibular; the atrium saccular with thick, heavily sclerotized walls (Figs. 4, 5). Fixed digit of chelicera with 5 teeth, movable digit unidentate (Fig. 6). Chaetotaxic formula: genu II, 2-210, 2/0-1; genu III, 1-2/1, 2/0-1. Genua I-III without macrosetae. Amblyseius (Neoseiulus) longispinosus (Evans 1952)

We studied the distribution of the predatory phytoseiid mite, Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans), in Thailand. The predator was distributed over the entire areas of the country throughout the year. It was found on 33 plant species ranging from perennial plants such as fruit trees to annual crops such as vegetables and ornamentals. N. longispinosus was abundant on plants infested with spider mites producing heavy webbing on the lower surface of leaves.

“…So far, more than 2,700 species included in 91 genera and 3 subfamilies have been recorded worldwide (Chant and McMurtry, 2007;Demite et al, 2015). Fifty-three species are recorded from Taiwan (Ehara, 1970;Lo, 1970;Tseng, 1972;1973;1975;1976;Chang and Tseng, 1978;Tseng, 1983;Ho and Lo, 1989;Ho et al, 2003). Yi-Hsiung Tseng provided the most complete survey of phytoseiid mites in this country from the 1970s to the early 1980s; he recorded 47 species including 20 newly described endemic ones.…”
