Description

Amblyseius caudatus Berlese

Amblyseius caudatus Berlese, 1914: 145; Womersley, 1954: 190; Chant & McMurtry, 2004: 203; Moraes et al. 2004: 18. Typhlodromus caudatus, Chant 1957: 306, 308.

REMARKS—This species was described from specimens collected in Java, Indonesia, on unknown substrate. It was reported from Kenya (Moutia 1958), but no additional specimens were collected in the present study. The true identity of this species is unknown, as discussed by Chant (1959), Denmark & Muma (1989) and Chant & McMurtry (2004). For this reason, it is not included in the key provided in this publication. WORLD DISTRIBUTION—Guyana, Hawaii, Kenya, Mauritius and Poland.
