Neoseiulus conterminus (Kolodochka) View in CoL

Amblyseius conterminus Kolodochka, 1990: 161 .

Neoseiulus conterminus View in CoL .— Chant & McMurtry, 2003: 23; Moraes et al., 2004: 114; Chant & McMurtry, 2007: 25; Palevsky et al., 2009: 1727 View Cited Treatment .

Specimens examined. One female, Dereiya, Riyadh, 9 June 2010, 24˚44' N, 46˚34' E, alt. 670 m, on Bindweed, Convolvulus arvensis View in CoL L. ( Convolvulaceae View in CoL ) in a date palm orchard.

Remarks. The type specimens were collected from soil at Karakalpak, Uzbekistan while the Saudi specimen was found on Convolvulus arvensis leaves. Our specimen of N. conterminus agrees with the redescription given by Palevsky et al. (2009) for two female specimens collected from Cynodon dactylon in date palm orchards, Israel. This species is a new record for the Saudi mite fauna. This species has been recorded from Israel and Uzbekistan.
