Neoseiulus

description: Neoseiulus Hughes
Neoseiulus Hughes, 1948: 141. Type species Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes, 1948.
For extensive synonymy see under Neoseiulus in Moraes et al. (2004, pp 98–153).
Diagnosis. Dorsal shield of female with 17 pairs of setae and seven pairs of solenostomes (it, id, iv, isc, il, is, ic); moderately or well sclerotised, smooth or reticulated. Setae AS and PS on interscutal membrane. Dorsal setae simple, smooth, approximately equal length (PM3 usually longer than others and serrated). Peritremes long with chetoids (“perforated”). Sternal shield with three pairs of setae. Ventrianal shield elongated, pentagonal or almost quadrate in form, wider than caudal part of genital shield, with three pairs of pre-anal setae. Anal pores maybe present or absent. Normally only legs IV with macrosetae, or all legs without macrosetae. Proportions of gnathosoma and mouthparts typical for the majority of phytoseiid mites. Chelicerae in the Palaearctic species with moderate sizes with 4–8 teeth on fixed digit and 0–2 teeth on movable digit.
Neoseiulus is closely related to Amblyseius Berlese and Chelaseius Muma & Denmark but differs from them by the shorter length of dorsal setae, which are subequal in length (absence of long or whip-like setae) and by having macrosetae only on legs IV or absent from all legs. Almost 100 nominal species of this worldwide genus are known from the Palaearctic region (Kolodochka 2006).

Host plants
Calystegia sepium, Convolvulus arvensis, Ipomoea somnulenta, and I. batatas (Hering 1957, Balachowsky 1966, Seksyaeva 1981, Parenti 2000).
Distribution
Northwest, South; Uzbekistan (Bukhara). Europa, Japan, North America, Australia, New Zealand (Seksyaeva 1981).
Distribution in Turkey (Fig. 2): Türkiye (Koçak 2001).
Remarks
This species has a Palaearctic distribution (Balachowsky 1966) and was listed in the “ Lepidoptera of Turkey ” by Koçak (2001). However, we found no records of this species in Turkey. The host plants reported in the literature, e.g., Convolvulus, Calystegia, and Ipomea, all occur in Turkey; therefore this species may be present.

Distribution
Russia: European part (except northernmost regions), Siberia (Irkutsk, Yakutia), Ukraine, Transcaucasia, Kazakhstan, Middle Asia, Europe (except northern part), Asia Minor, Middle East, Iran, North Africa, and China (Baryshnikova 1996).
Distribution in Turkey (Fig. 2): Bursa (Mann 1862), Ordu (Ünye), Giresun (Bulancak) (Ecevit et al. 1987).
Remarks
Ecevit et al. (1987) report this species as an important pest of hazelnut in Samsun, Ordu, Giresun, and Trabzon. However, because there are no other literature records of this species feeding on hazelnut, the information provided by Ecevit et al. (1987) is suspect.

Material examined. CHINA: 1♂, Hebei, Chengde, Wulingshan, Shibatan, 12 Jun. 2019, Ding Yang leg. (CAU).
Diagnosis. Generally shining black (Fig. 21); antennal arista dark brown (Fig. 29); wing slightly infumate, with indistinct dark suffusion at apex (Fig. 33); legs mostly yellow, with hind femur narrowly dark brown subapically; phallapodeme thin, nearly straight (Fig. 25); distiphallus long, about 1.92 times as long as phallapodeme, with sclerotized apical “glans” (Figs 24, 25).
Distribution. China (Hebei) [new record]. Widely distributed in the Palearctic Region, including Japan, North Korea, Russia and the following European countries: Andorra, Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and United Kingdom (Iwasa 1995; Palaczyk et al. 2013; Roháček 2016; Bree 2017).
Remarks. This is the type species of the genus Strongylophthalmyia, and its morphology (including adult and immature stages), biology and distribution have been well-documented in several works (e.g., Rotheray & Robertson 1998; Palaczyk et al. 2013; Evenhuis 2016; Krivosheina 2021). Here we add a new record of this species in northern China, and provide illustrations of habitus (Fig. 21), antenna (Fig. 29), wing (Fig. 33) and male genitalia (Figs 22–25) to help recognize this species.

Irenangelus Schulz, 1906: 175.
Type species: Irenangelus hornus Schulz, 1906: 160 (= Agenia reversa Smith, 1873: 448), by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Uncoiled antenna, reniform eyes with the inner orbits strongly emarginate and diverging above, a fully exerted labium in both sexes, ocelli in compact triangle far away from eyes, often enlarged, metacoxa normal-sized, less than 1.5× as long as mesocoxa; metatarsal claws normal, divergent and weakly bent apically, with additional tooth (Kimsey & Wasbauer 2004; Shimizu & Wahis 2007; Loktionov & Lelej 2015).
Biology. Members are found to be cleptoparasites on pompilid wasps Auplopus nyemitawa (Rohwer, 1919), A. semialatus (Williams, 1919) (Pepsinae) and Tachypompilus analis (Fabricius, 1781) (Pompilinae) (Williams 1919). Irenangelus hikosanus (Wahis, 2007) pursues its host pompilid Platydialepis ryoheii (Ishikawa, 1957) (Pepsinae) to prey up on the common host Heteropoda forcipata (Karsch, 1881) (Heteropodidae) (Shimizu & Wahis 2007).
Distribution. Eastern Palaearctic, Neotropical, Afrotropical (Madagascar), Oriental and Australian Regions (Kimsey & Wasbauer 2004; Shimizu & Wahis 2007).
Remarks. A new species, I. acuminatus Binoy & Girish Kumar, sp. nov., is here described with illustrations and is incorporated into a key to species of the Indian subcontinent (Fig. 23).

Host plants
Laburnum, Genista, occasionally Lupinus polyphyllyus, Koeleria, Petteria, Cytisus laburnum, and Astragalus (Heinemann 1877, Hering 1957, Balachowsky 1966, Seksyaeva 1981, Baryshnikova 1996).
Distribution
Russia (Dagestan, Derbent) and Europe (Baryshnikova 1996). Distribution in Turkey (Fig. 2): Ordu (new record for Turkey).
Remarks
This species was collected together with Coleophora vibicella (Hübner, [1813]) from galleries in Genista in Ordu province. L. laburnella is new to Turkey, and this record confirms the use of Genista tinctoria which has been mentioned as the food plant of L. laburnella elsewhere.

Hypsiceraeus albovariegatus: Cameron 1897: 405.
Type material. Holotype, ♂ —“ Sri Lanka: Eastern Province, Trincomalee district, Date? Coll.Yerbury ” [NHMUK], examined by RW.
Diagnosis. This species is clearly recognizable among congeners in having the head and mesosoma black with white markings; fu 1 –fu 3 with joints ventro-basally fulvous; metasoma testaceous yellow; wings hyaline and iridescent, veins and tegulae testaceous; head with a remarkable subcordate grooved or bilobed projection on front, above base of antennae; mesonotum with two parallel well-marked longitudinal furrows; propodeum rounded posteriorly, with a medial longitudinal furrow; metasoma short, slightly laterally compressed.
Distribution. Sri Lanka (Trincomalee);? India (Uttarakhand) (Bingham 1896; Móczár 1985).
Note. Móczár (1985) reports a specimen examined from Mussoorie collected by Rothney named Ceropales (= Irenangelu s) albomaculatus, type originating from now Uttarakhand, India, deposited at Oxford. However, no such synonymy could be traced to the species. The synonym Hypsiceraeus albovariegatus Cameron, 1915 is originally found in sources as doubtful taxon within Hypsiceraeus (Morice & Durrant 1915).

Description. Head wider than pronotum. Vertex glabrous, longer medially than next to eyes, slightly shorter than interocular width; disc somewhat flat; anterior margin shagreen, roundly produced (Fig. 1 A). Face (Fig. 1 B) wider than long; margin of gena adjacent to clypellus much narrower than ocell-ocular area; latero-frontal sutures extending above antennae to ocelli; clypellus long, narrow, exceeding apex of lora, sides parallel; antennal ledges weak. Ocelli situated on frontal margin of vertex next to corresponding eye, separated from each eye by 1.5 times to twice own diameter. Pronotum large, anterior margin roundly produced, posterior margin shallowly concave (Fig. 1 A); lateral margins short, non-carinate (Fig. 1 C). Forewings (Fig. 1 F) elongate, exceeding abdomen; appendix wide; two subapical cells and four apical cells. Setal pattern at apex of hind femora 2, 2, 1.
Male genitalia. Pygophore (Fig. 1 D, E) wider than long; lateral lobes narrowly rounded posteriorly, emarginate dorsally to near midlength, tapering caudally; posterior margin covered with spicules and spines; macrosetae plumose, over posterior half of lateral surfaces. Tenth segment membranous (Fig. 1 D). Valve broadly triangular (Fig. 1 I). Subgenital plates triangular (Fig. 1 I), reaching apex of pygophore; uniseriate row of macrosetae along ventrolateral margin (Fig. 1 D). Styles with apical process finger-like, turned slightly laterally; lateral lobe well developed, bearing setae dorsally (Fig. 1 I). Connective Y-shaped, arms as long as stem, with distinct membrane marginally (Fig. 1 J). Aedeagus with shaft short, apex acute, directed dorsally (Fig. 1 D, H); gonopore large, subapical on ventral surface (Fig. 1 J).
Distribution. China, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, Iran, Japan, Europe, Africa, Southern Asia, Indonesia, New Caledonia.
Remarks. Nesoclutha is similar to Balclutha (Macrostelini) but can be distinguished from the latter by the head wider than pronotum and vertex obviously longer medially than next to eyes and aedeagal shaft more robust than latter (Fig. 1 A, H), with gonopore large and subapical on ventral margin (Fig. 1 J). It differs from all members of the tribe in China by the laterally membranous connective (Fig. 1 J).

Note. This name was synonymised with N. pallida (Evans) by Day & Fletcher (1994). They suggested that the widespread use of N. pallida, particularly in relation to its disease transmission in economic plants, justified an application to the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for preservation of the younger name over N. phryne. However, no submission was subsequently made (M.J. Fletcher, personal communication, 2010) and Nesosteles phryne Kirkaldy as the senior synonym of N. pallida still has priority.
