Amblyseius ficus El-Halawany & Abdel-Samad

Amblyseius ficus El-Halawany & Abdel-Samad, 1990: 90; Chant & McMurtry, 2004: 199; 2007: 78. Typhlodromips ficus . — Moraes et al., 2004: 212.

Previous records from Egypt. Qualyubia governorate (El-Halawany & Abdel-Samad, 1990).

Remarks. No additional specimens of this species were found in this study. It could also be a junior synonym of A. swirskii; however, a definitive conclusion in this regard requires an examination of the type specimens of A. ficus, which was not possible in the present study, despite our efforts. This species was originally described from the holotype female, nine paratype females and two paratype males collected in Tukh, Qualyubia governorate, Egypt. The original description was rather detailed, with illustrations and setal measurements.
