| abstract | In this paper, a new species of the genus Amblyseius Berlese is described. The type specimens are kept in the Department of Biology, Jiangxi University.
Amblyseius jiangxiensis sp. nov. (figs. 1-6)
This new species is similar to Amblyseius ainu Ehara 1967, but differs from the latter in having seta L4 less than twice as long as L2 and L3, or in the shape of the spermatheca. This new species is also similar to Amblyseius japonicus (Ehara 1958), but differs from the latter in having seta M2 longer than distance between its base and that of L7, and in the shape of the spermatheca and the ventrianal shield.
