Chant & McMurtry (1994) recognised nine species groups viz., arizonicus, transvaalensis, singularis, daresalaami, rickeri, religiosus, rhenanus , egypticus and bergi species groups under the subgenus Anthoseius based on presence or absence of setae S4, JV3 and JV4, morphology of dorsal setae and their length, shape of female ventrianal shield and the point of insertion of r3 and R 1. Among these species groups the present species Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) barapanicus sp. nov., T. (Anthoseius) campana sp. nov., and T. (Anthoseius) cherrapunjiensis sp. nov. belong to rhenanus species group with setae r3 and R 1 inserted on the lateral integument of the adult female, with the setae on the dorsal shield in the z -Z and s -S series shorter than the distances between their bases and with the female ventrianal shield pentagonal in shape.
