New species and new records of phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) from Cape Verde archipelago

The phytoseiid mites of the Cape Verde archipelago are scarcely known. We report the results of a survey conducted on the islands of Santiago and Santo Ant?o, where phytoseiids were collected from native, cultivate d and invasive plants. Fourteen species were collected, four of which represent new records for the islands. One new species, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) macrodactylus Ferragut sp. nov., is described and illustrated. W e describe the unknown male of Amblyseius neolargoensis van der Merwe, provide a redescription of the male o f Euseius fustis (Pritchard & Baker) and additional morphological information for all examined species.
