“…However, these two characters are probably misidentified, because of the slide-making technique or other reasons. Besides, earlier specimens were lost after Tseng retirement (Liao et al 2017a). There is no differences between our specimens and the holotype specimen.…”

Predatory mites belonging to family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) have received great attention. The subgenus Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) De Leon is one of the largest and complicated group in the family Phytoseiidae. There are 11 species of Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) reported in Taiwan so far and eight of them described by Y.H. Tseng. In addition, all specimens including types are lost after his retirement. The undetailed descriptions and the simple illustrations caused some difficulties in proper identifications of Taiwanese species. In this study, six species previously described from Taiwan that follows T. (A.) changi, T. (A.) gracilentus, T. (A.) lanyuensis, and T. (A.) neocrassus, T. (A.) obesus, T. (A.) tridentiger, are re-discovered. In addition, three species, T. (A.) bambusae, T. (A.) chinensis, and T. (A.) serrulatus are reported for the first time for Taiwanese fauna. We also provided the first description of male T. (A.) bambusae. Detailed descriptions of all species and a revised key to the Taiwanese species of the subgenus Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) are also included. Materials and MethodsMite specimens examined in this study were collected from various plants from the main island and surrounding islands of Taiwan during the years 1985-2018. Specimens were mounted in Hoyer's medium. Also, poor condition specimens were soaked with water, clean by lactic acid, bleached by high concentration (50%) H 2 O 2 in the blacken specimen, rinsed in ethanol (75%), and remounted in Hoyer's medium (Yeh et al. 2008). Specimens were examined under Olympus BX51 microscope, and measurements taken using a stage-calibrated ocular micrometers as well as ImageJ 1.47 (Schneider et al. 2012). Photos were taken by using Motic® Moticam 5+ camera attached to the microscope. All measurements were provided in micrometers (µm) following by their mean and range (in parenthesis). The dorsal shield lengths were measured from anterior to posterior margins along the midline and the widths measured at j6 and S4 levels. The sternal shield lengths and widths were taken from anterior to posterior margins along the midline and at broadest level, respectively. The genital shield widths were taken from broadest level. The ventrianal shield lengths were taken from anterior to posterior margins along the midline including cribrum and the shield widths measured at ZV2 and anus levels. The general terminology used for morphological descriptions in this study follows that of Chant & McMurtry (2007).

“…In addition, Tseng provided undetailed descriptions and simple illustrations which may cause difficulties for proper identification. Therefore, redescriptions of these species are necessary to avoid further confusions (BAPHIQ 2009;Liao et al 2017a).…”

“…Knowledge regarding the fauna of Phytoseiidae in Taiwan is still increasing, with detailed investigations conducted by the present authors. To date, 59 species have been recorded from Taiwan and neighboring islands (Ehara 1970;Lo 1970;Tseng 1972;1973;1975;1976;Chang & Tseng 1978;Tseng 1983;Ho & Lo 1989;Ho et al 2003;Liao et al 2017a;2017b;2017c).…”

Euseius nicholsi (Ehara & Lee), E. sojaensis (Ehara), and Gynaseius santosoi (Ehara) are reported for the first time from Taiwan. The new records were re-described based on Taiwanese specimens collected from various plants. In addition, a new species, E. oolong sp. nov., was described and illustrated. Identification keys for Taiwanese species of Euseius Wainstein and world species of genus Gynaseius Wainstein are provided.
