Neocypholaelaps ceylonicus Narita & Moraes, 2011 View in CoL

Neocypholaelaps ceylonicus Narita & Moraes (in Narita et al., 2011: 60).

Neocypholaelaps ceylonicus . - Silva et al. 2014: 714.

Type depository.

Departamento de Entomologia e Acarologia, Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz", Universidade de São Paulo, Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil.

Type locality and habitat.

Sri Lanka, Kalpitiya, on inflorescence of coral tree, Erythrina sp. ( Fabaceae ).

Remarks.

I suspect this species to be a junior synonym of Neocypholaelaps stridulans (Evans, 1963). Differential characters for separating Neocypholaelaps ceylonicus from N. stridulans given by Narita and Moraes (2011) and Silva et al. (2014) are questionable and not well founded.
