440987E72F17FF9ED7E15D91FE06FC6B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The measurements of six adult females collected fit the original description, except for the shorter Z 5 [158 (160 – 172) for these specimens and 220 in the original description]. This difference was also reported in previous papers (Feres & Moraes, 1998, 2002; Lofego et al., 2004, 2009). The specimens examined in this work have seven and two teeth on the fixed and movable cheliceral digits respectively (these parameters were not previously reported in the literature). In the original description of this species, the illustration of the calyx suggests the existence of a transverse plate-like structure near the mid length of the spermathecal calyx, which was mentioned by Denmark & Muma (1989) and Ferla & Moraes (2002). Observations of specimens collected in this work indicate that the structure corresponds to the end of the calyx next to the vesicle. Thus, what was implied as being a distal continuation of the calyx beyond that structure in the original description corresponds the constricted section of a spermatophore inside the vesicle. Figures 1 – 3 show spermathecae with apparently containing zero, one and three spermatophores.	en	Moraes, Gilberto José De, Barbosa, Marina Ferraz De Camargo, Castro, Tatiane Marie Martins Gomes De (2013): Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) from natural ecosystems in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

440987E72F11FF9BD7E15862FC9BFEB9.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Measurements of six adult females collected in general fit the values given in the original description. Although the original description of A. compositus reports the macroseta of tarsus IV as being 37 long, measurements of two paratypes showed the length of this macroseta to be 53 – 61 long, values close to those of specimens collected in this study. Measurements of the specimens collected are similar to those provided by Gondim Jr. & Moraes (2001) and Lofego et al. (2004) for specimens of the State of São Paulo. In the specimens collected in this study, the lengths of j 3 and Z 5 were 43 (35 – 50) and 127 (105 – 144) respectively. The minimum values correspond approximately to what was reported in the original description of the species, whereas the maximum values correspond to what was reported as the respective upper end of the ranges by Gondim Jr. & Moraes (2001) for specimens from the State of São Paulo.	en	Moraes, Gilberto José De, Barbosa, Marina Ferraz De Camargo, Castro, Tatiane Marie Martins Gomes De (2013): Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) from natural ecosystems in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

440987E72F1FFF90D7E1587FFE97FDBC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Proprioseiopsis pariquerassuensis n. sp. belongs to the peruvianus species group, but it is also similar to the subgroup belizensis of the belizensis species group (Chant & McMurtry, 2007). This new species is similar to Proprioseiopsis miconiae Moraes & Mesa, 1991 and Proprioseiopsis caliensis Moraes & Mesa, 1988. Proprioseiopsis miconiae differs from this new species by having j 3 longer (36) and the following setae shorter: Z 4, Z 5 and s 4 (all measuring 84 in P. miconiae). Proprioseiopsis caliensis differs from this new species by having j 3 and z 4 longer [37 (34 – 41) and 16 (12 – 19) respectively] and Z 4 and Z 5 shorter [90 (82 – 94) and 84 (79 – 91) respectively].	en	Moraes, Gilberto José De, Barbosa, Marina Ferraz De Camargo, Castro, Tatiane Marie Martins Gomes De (2013): Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) from natural ecosystems in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

440987E72F07FF8ED7E15DD4FB88FA17.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The measurements of the specimens collected fit the original description, except for the shorter spermathecal calyx (25 in the original description). The shorter calyx was also mentioned by Moraes & Mesa (1988) for specimens from Colombia and by Gondim Jr. & Moraes (2001) for specimens of the Brazilian Sates of Pernambuco and São Paulo (18 and 16 respectively). Specimens collected in this study in Pariquera-Açu have shorter j 3, s 4, S 2, Z 5, Sge II, Sge IV and St IV than specimens from the other two localities (Itu and Piracicaba), wich have j 3 longer than mentioned in the original description (21), as also reported by Moraes & Mesa (1988) (25 – 31) for specimen from Colombia. Similarly to what was observed for specimens collected in this study, Sge I and Sge II have been consistently mentioned as pointed in the literature (including the original description), whereas macrosetae of leg IV have been consistently mentioned as knob-tipped. However, some differences have been reported in relation to Sge III: while mentioned as knob-tipped in the original description, Moraes & McMurtry (1983) mentioned it as pointed for some and bulbous for other populations from northeast Brazil, whereas Moraes & Mesa (1988) reported it as pointed for Colombian populations.	en	Moraes, Gilberto José De, Barbosa, Marina Ferraz De Camargo, Castro, Tatiane Marie Martins Gomes De (2013): Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) from natural ecosystems in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

440987E72F0EFF87D7E15F5DFB79FB20.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The measurements of six adult females collected in this study fit the original description. In a redescription of the species based on specimens from São Paulo, Zacarias & Moraes (2001) reported that some dorsal setae were shorter (j 1 30 – 32, z 2 8 – 9, z 4 11 and S 5 11 – 14) and Sge IV was longer (65 – 73) than reported in the original description (j 1 36, z 2 14, z 4 14, S 5 16 and Sge IV 59). In the specimens examined in this study, the ranges of the lengths of those setae (j 1 29 – 35, z 2 8 – 11, z 4 12 – 16, S 5 12 – 15 and Sge IV 54 – 78) are in between or partially overlap the values given in the original description and those of Zacarias & Moraes (2001). As also mentioned by Zacarias & Moraes (2001), the specimens collected in this study have dorsal shield with less conspicuous lateral notches at level of s 4 than reported in the original description.

440987E72F37FFB9D7E15EA4FDF8FF08.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Breviseius n. g. fits the characterisation of the tribe Galendromimini, described by Chant & McMurtry (1994). Within this tribe, the presence of S 4 and S 5 is shared with Cydnoseius Muma; the absence of Z 1 is shared with Silvaseius Chant & McMurtry; the elongate tubular-like spermathecal calyx and the small number of teeth on the fixed cheliceral digit are shared with Silvaseius and Galendromimus (Galendromimus). Those groups differ from Breviseius by the following characteristics: Cydnoseius – presence of Z 1 and ZV 3; Z 5 distinctly longer than other dorsal setae; calyx of spermatheca dish-shaped; presence of macroseta on tarsus of genu IV; Silvaseius – z 4 inserted mesad its usual position; absence of S 2 and S 4; j 3, s 4, s 6, Z 4 and Z 5 distinctly longer than other dorsal setae; fixed cheliceral digit multidentate; legs III and IV with macrosetae; Galendromimus (Galendromimus) – Z 1 and JV 3 present; Z 4 and Z 5 elongate and serrate; fixed cheliceral digit multidentate and peritreme extending to the level of r 3.	en	Moraes, Gilberto José De, Barbosa, Marina Ferraz De Camargo, Castro, Tatiane Marie Martins Gomes De (2013): Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) from natural ecosystems in the State of São Paulo, Brazil.
