Chant & McMurtry (1994, 2007) gave full descriptions of Typhlodromus View in CoL . Key characters used to separate this from other genera of the same tribe are: dorsal setal patterns 12A:8A (the most common, with Z1 absent), 12A:7A (with Z1 and S5 absent), 12A:7B [with T. (Anthoseius) arizonicus (Tuttle & Muma) View in CoL and T. (A.) demoraesi Lofego & Feres, with Z1 and S4 absent) and 11D:8A (with T. (A.) cephalochaitosus Moraes, Oliveira & Zannou View in CoL , with z3 absent); caudoventral setal patterns of females JV:ZV, JV-3:ZV or JV-4:ZV; with 33-35 pairs of idiosomal setae in total; dorsal setae z3 (absent in Typhlodromus cephalochaitosus View in CoL ), s6, J2, S2, and R1, and caudoventral setae JV2 and ZV3 present; dorsal setae z6, J1, Z1 and Z3 absent; dorsal setae S4 and S5, and caudoventral setae JV3 and JV4 present/absent; morphology of the dorsal setae, cheliceral dentition, morphology of the spermatheca and leg setation considerably variable. The two subgenera recognized by Chant & McMurtry (1994) were reported from sub-Saharan Africa.
