TI  - Re-descriptions of Neoseiulus reductus (Wainstein) and Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) caucasicus (Abbasova) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) from Turkey
AB  - Two predatory mite species, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) caucasicus(Abbasova) and Neoseiulus reductus (Wainstein) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) are re-described andillustrated, based on specimens collected from strawberry plants on Gökal Plateau at 1450meters above sea level in Tokat Province, Turkey. Typhlodromus (A.) caucasicus is a newrecord for the Turkish mite fauna. In addition, our examination revealed that N. reductus hasa reticulated dorsal shield, as opposed to a smooth dorsal shield in its original description andin some re-descriptions. Apparently, the reticulation on the dorsal shield was not taken intoconsideration in some of the previous descriptions. Furthermore, this species may have beenreported as N. cucumeris (Oudemans) in some previous studies from Turkey. The relativelength of peritremes and the shape of pre-anal solenotomes are among the differencesbetween N. reductus and N. cucumeris. The re-descriptions provided in this study areimportant for the further diagnosis of N. reductus and T. (A.) caucasicus.
