| abstract | This paper gives a report of 21 species of phytoseiid mites which are re- corded for the first time from Fujian Province They are shown in the follo- wing list. Those marked with an asterisk* are predominant species. Beisdes, there are five new species. The type specimens are deposited in the Guangdong Institute of Entomology.

In the following descriptions, all measurements are in µ.
Phytoseius (Dubininellus), fujianensis Wu, sp. nov. (figs. I, 1-5)
This species resembles P. (P.) rugulosus Chaudri from Pakistan and P.(P.) rachelae Swirskl et Shechter from Hongkong. However, it can be differentiated from them in the following respects; shape of spermatheca differs in the three species; dorsal shield smooth in the present new species, but rugose in rugulo- sue; Setae L5 105-110 in fujianensis as against 82 in rugulosus; L5 105-110 and L6 70-80 in fujianensis as against 51 and 47 in rachelae.
Male: Unknown.
Type series: Holotype female, Da-Zhu-Lan of Jianyang Hsien, 1980. vi. 15 on Pachyrrhizus sp. Paratypes 6 females, same data as holotype.
Phytodeius (P.) aleuritius Wu, sp. nov. (figs. II, 6-10)
Female. This species is closely related with P. (Pennuseius) ikeharai Ehara from Japan, but can be distinguished from the latter on the basic of the follow ing characters; L6 70-75 and M2 45-47.5 in aleuritius, while 117 and 96 in ikeharai; shape of spermatheca and atrium different in both species; VL, 80 in aleuritius, but 53 in ikaharai; notocephalic pore present near M1 in aleuritius, but absent in ikeharai.
Male: Unknown.
Type series: Holotype female, Fuzhou, Gushan, 1980.v.29, On Aleurites fodii. Paratypes: 7 females, same data as holotype; 5 females, Sangang of Chonr gan Hsien, 1980.vi.10, on Perilla sp.
Amblyseius (Propriseiopsis) jianyangensis Wu, sp. nov. (figs. III, 11-15)
Female: This species is similar to Amblyseius (P.) peltatus Van der Merwe (redescribed by Blommers, 1976 and Ehara, 1977) but is different from the latter in the following characters: relative lengths of dorsal idiosomal setae, shape of spermatheca, long macrosetae on leg IV, and numbers of teeth on fixed digit of chelicera.
Male: Unknown.
Type series: Holotype female, Gui-lin of Jianyang Hsien, 1980.vi.16, on Diospyros kaki Linn. Paratypes, 5 females, same data as holotype.
Amblyseius (A.) saacharus Wu, sp. nov. (figs. IV, 16-22)
This species is closely similar to Amblyseius syzygii Gupta from India, but differs from the latter in the following characters, shape of spermatheca and spermatodactyl different in both species; dorsal shield smooth in saacharus, but reticulate in syzygii; setae L. 36.a-40 and M, 53-58 in the present new species, but 20 and 24-34 in syzygii.
Type series: Holotype female, Jianyang, 1980.vi.14, on Saacharum arudinaceum Retz. Allotype male, paratypes, 1 male, 4 females, same data as holotype.
Typhlodromus (T.) orientalis Wu, sp. nov. (figs. V, 23-28)
Female. This species is similar to Typhlodromus helveoius Chant, but can be differentiated from the latter in the shape of ventrianal shield, the relative lengths of dorsal idiosomal setae, numbers of setae on the dorsal shield and the macrosetae on leg IV.
Male: Unknown.
Holotype female, Jianyang, 1980. vi. 12, on Bambusa sp. |
