Typhlodromips culmulus, Moraes et al., 1986: 139 View in CoL ; 2004: 210; Chant & McMurtry, 200: 327;

2007: 61.

Specimens examined — Chamouny (20°28’55.99”S, 57°27’58.00”E, alt. 128 m), 1? on an unknown host plant, 21-IX-2017.

Previous Records — Kenya, Lesotho, South Africa.

Remarks — Measurements of the single adult female collected ( Table 6 View Table 6 ) agree with those of the literature, except for the shorter Z4, JV5, macrosetae SgeII and StiIV.

Species of this genus are supposed to belong to the type III ( McMurtry and Croft 1997; McMurtry et al. 2013), i.e. a polyphagous generalist predator. However, the biology of T. culmulus remains totally unknown.
