description: <i>Amblyseius djenaeli</i> Kreiter n. sp. Zoobank: F3A10C4E-9A70-457F-A76D-939A73A17CFF <b>Diagnosis</b> — <i>Amblyseius djenaeli</i> Kreiter <b>n. sp.</b> belongs to the subfamily Amblyseiinae (absence of dorsolateral setae <i>z3</i> and <i>s6</i> and the caudoventral setae <i>JV3</i>), to the tribe Amblyseiini (setae <i>j3</i>, <i>s4</i>, <i>Z4</i> and <i>Z5</i> longer than other setae, ratio <i>s4</i> / <i>Z1</i> &gt; 3.1, many teeth on the fixed cheliceral digits and macrosetae on legs I, II and/or III[?] in addition of macrosetae on leg IV), to the subtribe Amblyseiina (sternal shield as long as wide, ventrianal shield longer than wide, seta <i>J2</i> present, genital shield almost as wide as ventrianal shield, ventral shields generally smooth, macrosetae on all legs, setae <i>j5</i>, <i>J2</i>, <i>S2</i>, <i>S4</i>, <i>S5</i> and <i>Z1</i> present), to the genus <i>Amblyseius</i> (ratio <i>s4</i> / <i>S2</i> &gt; 3.0, chelicerae of normal size with fixed digit of the same size as movable digit, seta <i>JV2</i> present, without incision in lateral margin of dorsal shield at the level of seta <i>s4</i>, ventrianal shield not reduced to a simple anal shield, Ge III and Ti III each generally with a macroseta) (Chant and McMurtry 2007). Setae <i>J2</i> and <i>Z1</i> are present, dorsocentral setae and setae <i>z2</i>, <i>z4</i>, <i>Z1</i>, <i>S2</i>, <i>S4</i>, and <i>S5</i> are minute, setae <i>s4</i>, <i>Z4</i> and <i>Z5</i> are prominent, elongate and whip-like, female ventrianal shield usually pentagonal, as wide at level of anus than at level of setae <i>ZV2</i> or wider at this later level, which allows to classify this new species in the species group <i>obtusus</i> (Chant and McMurtry 2004a). Like <i>A. tamatavensis</i>, <i>A. djenaeli</i> <b>n. sp.</b> belongs to the species subgroup <i>aerialis</i> with spermatheca tubular. This subgroup contains 46 species (Chant and McMurtry 2004a). Many of those species are very different from the new species (Table 18). The type material of the more similar species, <i>A. solani</i>, was requested in Cuba for comparison with <i>A. djenaeli</i> <b>n. sp.</b> without any success.
