ABSTRACT

Six species of Ameroseiidae (Berlese, 1919) are reported from Taiwan, including one new species and five new records. Afrocypholaelaps analicullus sp. nov. and ewae Haitlinger, 1987 were collected from Apis merlifera L. The otherfour species, magnisetosa Ishikawa, 1972, Ameroseius lidiae Bregetova, 1977, Ameroseius matsudai Ishikawa, and Ameroseius vietnamensis Micherdzinski, 1965 were collected from soil. Ameroseiid from Taiwan, China, Japan, and Vietnam are listed to check the commonly distributed species. A key to the world species ofthe genus Afrocypholaelaps is given.

Key words: Ameroseiidae, Afrocypholaelaps, Neocypholaelaps, Ameroseius, Taiwan

Introduction plumosus (Oudemans), 1902 and Ameroseius plumigera Oudemans, 1930 Mites of the family Ameroseiidae from stored grains (Tjying, 1972), and (Berlese, 1919) were collected from store Neocypholaelaps indica Evans, 1963 from products, soil, decomposing organic matter, honeybee (Lo and Chao,1975).

Two ofthese species, Sertitympanum, and Sinoseius, and 110 including the new species, were collected species are recognized in the family. from a feeble looking honeybee, Apis In the 1970s,three ameroseiid species merlifera L.,resting on a wall.
