Typhlodromini Wainstein, 1962: 26 ; Chant & McMurtry, 1994: 246; 2007: 144.

Typhlodromus Scheuten, Evans, 1953: 449 View in CoL .

Typhlodromus (Typhlodromus), Chant, 1957: 528 View in CoL .

Chant & McMurtry (1994, 2007) gave a full description of the tribe Typhlodromini , mentioning the following as key characters to separate it from other tribes of the Typhlodrominae : presence of setae z3 [absent in one of the Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) View in CoL species here described], s6, J2, S2, R1, JV2 and ZV3; absence of setae z6, J1 and Z3; presence of setae S4 and JV 4 in most species; variable occurrence of setae Z1, S5, JV3 and JV4; 5 dorsal setal patterns: 12A:9B with seta Z1 present, 12A:8A with seta Z1 absent, 12A:7A with setae Z1 and S5 absent, 12A:7B with setae Z1 and S4 absent and 11D:8A with z3 and Z1 absent. Of the 3 genera placed by Chant & McMurtry (1994, 2007) in this tribe, only Typhlodromus View in CoL has been reported from sub-Saharan Africa.
