Ameroseius michaelangeli Moraza, 2006: 163.

Type depository.

Museum of Zoology, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain; Acarology Collection, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA.

Type locality and habitat.

Spain, Canary Islands, Tenerife Island, Punta del Diablo (Teno), from soil and litter of Cheirolophus burchardii (as Cheirolophus canariensis subsp. subexpinnatus ) ( Asteraceae ) and Euphorbia aphylla ( Euphorbiaceae ).

Comparative material.

Spain: 2 ♀♀ (MZNA: 443694, holotype; MZNA: 443695, paratype) - 8. 12. 1995, Islas Canarias, Tenerife, Punta del Diablo (Teno), Altitud 200 m, UTM: 28RCS 141 384 .

Remarks.

Moraza (2006) added complete leg chaetotaxy to the description of Ameroseius michaelangeli . According to her original data, genu and tibia of legs IV would have one anterolateral seta and two posterolaterals, but in the type specimens I found the typical two anterolaterals and one posterolateral seta instead (including some other slight differences in leg chaetotaxy, as detected by a comparison with data presented in Table 1 and in the original description).
