Typhlodromips ivoloinae (Blommers 1974) : 146 (synonymy according to Ueckermann & Loots 1988).

This species belongs to the culmulus species group of the genus Typhlodromips with nine other species. It was described under the name ivoloinae by Blommers (1974) from Madagascar on Citrus lemon (L.) Burman ( Rutaceae ). Mayotte Island is approximately 340 km away from Madagascar coasts and it is not surprising to find this species on a close island. The species was not reported from Mascareignes Archipelago. Its biology is totally unknown.

World distribution: Angola, Benin, Cameroon, DR Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Sierra Leone.

Specimens examined: a single ♀ collected during this study. Coconi, Lycée Agricole (189

m aasl, 12°50 ′ 7 ″ S, 45°8 ′ 11 ″ E), 1 ♀ on Carica papaya L. ( Caricaceae ), 26/XI/2018.

Remarks: morphological and morphometric characters and all measurements fit well with those provided in the literature as indicated in ( Table 3). This species recorded in several countries of Africa and is also present in Madagascar. Mayotte is consequently the second island of Indian Ocean known for hosting this species.
