Abstract

This study reports on six species belongs to four genera for the first time in Maafushi Island, Maldives. Among the species reported, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) philippinensis and Phytoseius meyerae are re-described and illustrated in detail. In addition, measurements and other diagnostic characters for Amblyseius adhatodae, A. largoensis, Neoseiulus houstoni and T. (A.) neobakeri are provided. Furthermore, the diagnosis of six species improved through including additional morphological characters and new illustrations.
