Description

Neoseiulus makuwa (Ehara)

Amblyseius (Amblyseius) makuwa Ehara, 1972: 154.

Amblyseius makuwa.— Wu et al., 1991: 89.

Amblyseius (Neoseiulus) makuwa.— Ehara and Amano, 1998: 37.

Neoseiulus makuwa.- Chant & McMurtry, 2003: 37; Moraes et al., 2004: 131; Zannou et al., 2006: 261; Chant & McMurtry, 2007: 29.

Specimens examined. Three females, Dereiya, Riyadh, 19 May 2011, 24°44' N, 46°34' E, alt. 678 m, on Sea-purslanes, Sesuvium sp. (Aizoaceae) in a date palm orchard.

Remarks. The type specimens were found on Cucumis melo var. makuwa at Kita-usa, Usa, Oita, Kyushu, Japan. The Saudi specimens completely agree with the redescription of N. makuwa given by Zannou et al. (2006), who reported one female specimen for the first time in Africa (Cameroon), on Ageratus conyzoides. This is the first record of this species in Saudi Arabia, as well as in the Middle East and North Africa. This species has also been recorded in China, Indonesia (Sumatra), Japan, South Korea, Taiwan (Ehara and Amano, 2004; Moraes et al., 2004); Cameroon (Zannou et al., 2006).
