Euseius baetae View in CoL (Meyer & Rodrigues)

Amblyseius baetae Meyer & Rodrigues 1966: 28 .

Euseius baetae, Moraes et al. 1986: 37, 2004b: 62 View in CoL , 2001: 11, Chant & McMurtry 2005b: 215,

2007: 120, El Banhawy & Knapp 2011: 36.

Euseius kangwanensis Ueckermann & Loots, 1988: 85 View in CoL (synonym according to Ueckermann & Loots 1988, Moraes et al. 2001, ElBanhawy & Knapp 2011).

The 200 species of the genus Euseius View in CoL are considered as Type IV species, pollenophagous generalists ( McMurtry and Croft 1997 ; McMurtry et al. 2013) and Euseius baetae View in CoL most probably also belongs to this type. The biology E of. baetae View in CoL is however totally unknown.

World distribution: Grande Comore Island, Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa.

Specimens examined: six specimens (1 ♂ and 5 ♀♀) collected during this study. Mdé, INRAPE (51 m aasl, lat. 11°44 ′ 12 ″ S, long. 43°14 ′ 59 ″ E), 1 ♀ on Bauhinia galpinii Bown (Fabaceae) , 6/XII/2018 ; Mdé, INRAPE (51 m aasl, lat. 11°44 ′ 12 ″ S, long. 43°14 ′ 59 ″ E), 1

♂ and 3 ♀♀ on Senna siamea (Lamarck) Irwin and Barneby (Fabaceae) and 1 ♀ on Averrhoa carambola L. ( Oxalidaceae ), 11/XII/2018.

Remarks measurements of the 5 ♀♀ and of the single male (tables 4 and 5) fit well with the measurements from the literature with slightly shorter dimensions in general and measurements from specimens of a previous record in Grande Comore ( Kreiter et al. 2018b).
