Macrosetae stout and spatulate on legs II and IV, except that on telotarsus IV, knobbed; sharp-tipped on genu and tibia of leg III; with a distinctly stout, spatulate and short seta on genu I, 1 stout, knobbed or blunt seta on femur IV, 1 or 2 similar seta(e) on genu IV, 1 similar seta on tibia IV and on basitarsus IV; spatulate seta on genu I 8 [6], Sge II 12 (11–13) [13], Sge III 13 (11–14) [13], Sti III 13 (11–14) [14], Sge IV 28 (24–32) [25], Sti IV 34 (33–37) [35], Sbt IV 41 (40–42) [43], Stt IV 38 (35–40) [36]. Chaetotaxy: genu II: 2-2/0, 2/0-1; genu III: 1-2/1, 2/0-1.
MALE. Not encountered in this study.
Specimens examined. Burundi: Murongwe, on unknown plant, 25-V-1990, J.S. Yaninek. Kenya: 13 km W Kwale, Coastal Province, on Terminalia catappa (Combretaceae) , 29-XI- 1989, J.S. Yaninek; 13 km N Sigya, Nyanza Province, on unknown plant, 2-XII-1989, J.S. Yaninek. Mozambique: Mitilili, Zambezia Province, on Cajanus cajan (Fabaceae) , 25-IV-2001, B. Agboton. Rwanda: ISAR Station, Rubosa, Butare, on Solanum sp. ( Solanaceae ), 6-XII-1989, J.S. Yaninek. Hong Kong: (paratype) on Urena lobata (Malvaceae) , 23-VIII-1960, E. Swirski.
Remarks. There is a controversy in relation to the status of several species of Paraphytoseius ( Chant & McMurtry, 2003b). Denmark et al. (1999) and Matthysse & Denmark (1981) considered P. horrifer to be a junior synonym of P. orientalis (= multidentatus ), but Chant & McMurtry (2003b) preferred to consider them different species until the respective type specimens are compared side by side. Our examination of the holotype of P. horrifer and of a paratype of P. multidentatus at different times indicates that the major differences between them are that the former has longer (ca. 20%) Z4, Z5 and s4, and lacks: a distinctly short, thick, spatulate seta on genu I; macrosetae on leg III; and a short, thick, blunt or knobbed seta on both genu and tibia IV. The specimens of P. horrifer collected in the present study have a short blunt seta on basitarsus IV and sometimes on femur IV (both apparently absent in the holotype of P. horrifer ).
