A new Amblyseius Berlese (Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae) species from Ecuador, with a key to the perditus subgroup of the largoensis species group

Abstract:

Amblyseius yumbus Ortega-Ojeda & Santos n. sp. is described based on specimens collected in a subtropical highland environment in northern Ecuador, on Musa paradisiaca (Musaceae) and Megaskepasma erythrochlamys (Acanthaceae). A key for the identification of the species of the perditus subgroup of the largoensis group, to which this new species belongs, is presented.
