Comparative material.
Germany / India: 2 ♀♀ (ZMB: 40281) - 2. 5. 1969, Zwiebeln 301 , Indien, „Meyenburg“, 2989 (labelled Ameroseius gracilis ). Iran: 1 ♀ (IZSAV) - Guilan Province, rice storage, 11, leg. J. Hajizadeh ; 2 ♀♀ (CJH) - Jiroft, Kerman Province, soil sample, leg. and det. J. Hajizadeh.
Remarks.
I have examined several female specimens of this species from Iran (received from A. Ahadiyat and J. Hajizadeh). Kleemannia parplumosa is easily identifiable because the adult females of only two further congeneric species ( Kleemannia dipankari , Kleemannia plumea ) have been described as having their epigynal shield ornamented by a peculiar sculptural structure that is well sclerotised, inverted U-shaped and on anterior surface of the shield.
There is a slide with two females of this species in the Karg Acaroteca in Berlin (ZMB 40281). The slide bears other three specimens of two other species of Kleemannia , and a label with the following collection data: Ameroseius gracilis Halbert, 1923, Nr. 2989, Zwiebeln, 301, Indien, Meyenburg, 2. 5. 1969. Based on this inconsistent information, the origin of these specimens cannot be established with any confidence. I believe that specimen are collected in Meyenburg (a town in northern Germany), perhaps from a sample of onion imported from India.
