Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) tetraporus sp. nov., collected on grasses in Crimea, is proposed as a new species for science. The new species can be separated from all known species of Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) by the combination of following characters; peritreme extending almost to level of setae j1, four pairs of solenostomes on dorsal shield, two pairs of setae on sternal shield, a sclerotised v-shaped plate posterior to sternal shield, four pairs of pre-anal setae, a pair of small rounded pre-anal solenostomes, differentiated and larger atrium of spermatheca and eight setae on genu II. In addition, T. (A.) montanus Chant Yoshida-Shaul (Acari: Phytoseiidae), a species only known based on its original description from Canada is reported for the first time in Russia. The new record is redescribed and illustrated based on female specimens collected from Prunus padus L. (Rosaceae) where it was associated with eriophyid mites in Pereval Seminskiy, Altai Republic. This species may be an important predator as a potential biological control agent of eriophyid mites.
新种 Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) tetraporus sp. nov. 基于克里米亚草丛中采集的标本而被提出,以供科学界参考。该新种可通过以下特征与已知的所有 Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) 物种区分开来;缘缨延伸至 j1 刚毛水平几乎,背甲上有四对栉齿,胸板上有两对刚毛,胸板后有一个硬化的 V 形板,四对肛前刚毛,一对小而圆形的肛前栉齿,分化和更大的受精囊和第二跗节上的八根刚毛。此外,据报道,原产于加拿大的 Acari: Phytoseiidae 种 Typhlodromus (A.) montanus Chant Yoshida-Shaul 首次在俄罗斯被发现。基于在俄罗斯阿尔泰共和国 Pereval Seminskiy 从李属植物 (Rosaceae) 上采集到的雌性标本,对这种新记录进行了重新描述和说明,在那里它与叶螨 mite 有关。该物种可能是一种重要的捕食者,是叶螨 mite 的潜在生物防治剂。
