Abstract

The genus Typhlodromina (Acari: Phytoseiidae) comprises six species worldwide. Three of them were previously recorded in New Zealand. During our studies of the phytoseiid mites, notable misidentifications were found in mite collections within New Zealand. This paper aims to rectify the taxonomic uncertainties associated with this genus in the country. We conducted a comprehensive examination of specimens deposited in major collections across the country, employing detailed morphological characteristics. Our findings indicate that only two species, T. aristidesi (El Banhawy) and T. musero (Schicha), are present in New Zealand and the prior records of T. eharai Muma and Denmark actually correspond to T. musero (Schicha).

澄清新西兰 Typhlodromina（蛔虫：Phytoseiidae）物种的分类地位

Typhlodromina属（蛔虫科：Phytoseiidae）在全球共有六个物种。其中 3 种以前在新西兰有记录。在我们对植螨的研究过程中，发现新西兰境内的螨类藏品存在明显的识别错误。本文旨在纠正新西兰与该属相关的分类不确定性。我们利用详细的形态特征，对全国各地主要收藏的标本进行了全面检查。我们的研究结果表明，新西兰仅有两个物种：T. aristidesi (El Banhawy) 和 T. musero (Schicha)，而之前记录的 T. eharai Muma 和丹麦实际上对应于 T. musero (Schicha)。

期刊介绍： Systematic and Applied Acarology (SAA) is an international journal of the Systematic and Applied Acarology Society (SAAS). The journal is intended as a publication outlet for all acarologists in the world. There is no page charge for publishing in SAA. If the authors have funds to publish, they can pay US$20 per page to enable their papers published for open access. SAA publishes papers reporting results of original research on any aspects of mites and ticks. Due to the recent increase in submissions, SAA editors will be more selective in manuscript evaluation: (1) encouraging more high quality non-taxonomic papers to address the balance between taxonomic and non-taxonomic papers, and (2) discouraging single species description (see new special issues for single new species description) while giving priority to high quality systematic papers on comparative treatments and revisions of multiple taxa. In addition to review papers and research articles (over 4 printed pages), we welcome short correspondence (up to 4 printed pages) for condensed version of short papers, comments on other papers, data papers (with one table or figure) and short reviews or opinion pieces. The correspondence format will save space by omitting the abstract, key words, and major headings such as Introduction.
