description: <i>Kuzinellus scytinus</i> (Chazeau) <i>Typhlodromus scytinus</i> Chazeau 1970: 6. <i>Paraseiulus scytinus</i>, Moraes <i>et al.</i> 1986: 206. <i>Kuzinellus scytinus</i> Moraes <i>et al.</i> 2004a: 274; Chant &amp; McMurtry 2007: 144. This species belongs to the <i>ecclesiasticus</i> species group that contains 36 species (Chant and McMurtry 20017) as setae of the dorsal shield are setiform. This species was recorded in Burundi, Rwanda, Australia, Madagascar (Demite <i>et al.</i> 2019) and it was already recorded in previous survey (Quilici <i>et al.</i> 2000; Demite <i>et al.</i> 2019). If all details of collections were provided in previous papers, measurements of specimens collected and identified were not given. Measurements of specimens collected during this study are provided in table 37. The biology of this species remains totally unknown. <b>Specimens examined</b>: 2 &amp;female;&amp;female; in total, both measured. Le 19 e– Plaine des Caffres, JL Robert farm (aasl 1000 m, Long 55°32’9” E, Lat 21°14’16” S), 1 &amp;female; on <i>E. sonchifolia</i>, 15/12/2015; Le Tampon – Bras de Pontho, Aldo Grace farm (aasl 661 m, Long 55°29’48” E, Lat 21°14’33” S), 1 &amp;female; on <i>Ageratina riparia</i> (Regel) R.M.King &amp; H.Rob., 21/2/2017. Sources of measurements – Brazil: Souza <i>et al.</i> (2015); Guadeloupe: Kreiter &amp; Moraes (1997); Holotype Puerto Rico: Denmark (1966); -: not provided. <b>Remarks</b>: measurement values s (Table 37) for 2 females of <i>K. scytinus</i> from La Réunion Island collected during this study are very similar from those obtained for females from Madagascar in the original description of Chazeau (1970) and from females collected from Burundi and Rwanda (Moraes <i>et al.</i> 2008).
