Antennoseius boskopensis Ryke

Antennoseius boskopensis Ryke, 1962a: 660 .

Specimens examined: Site 94­13, 2 females, 1 male.

Antennoseius boskopensis was described from humus in South Africa (Ryke, 1962a) and has apparently not been collected since. It is now reported from 3 specimens from clover pasture containing grass and capeweed at Plettenberg Bay. Little is known of the biology of Antennoseius except that A. janus Lindquist and Walter fed on nematodes, Collembola, and mites in laboratory culture (Lindquist & Walter, 1989). A. boskopensis is presumed to be predatory by analogy with that species.
