The specific name roseus refers to the type host plant, Rosa chinensis from where the new species were collected.</p><p>Remarks. The new species belongs to the maritimus species group by R1 off the dorsal shield and absence of marginal notch below R1 (Chant &amp; McMurtry, 2003). The new species is close to O. maritimus (Ehara, 1967b); O. alniseius Wainstein &amp; Begljarov, 1972 and O. juglandis (Wang &amp; Xu, 1985) among all the species of maritimus species group; however, it differs from its close species by variation in length of dorsal shield setae, shape and pattern of leg setae, variation in the number of denticles of fixed digit, distance between pre-anal pores of ventrianal plate and posterior margin of sternal shield. All the differences between the new species and the close species are given in Table 4.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B28786FFB6FA69FF6A9251FE85F75F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Typhlodromips cinchonai belongs to cumulus species group for spermatheca with shallow dish shaped calyx (Chant &amp; McMurtry, 2005). The new species is unique among this group for smooth dorsal shield and vase shaped ventrianal shield. The new species is close to the T. ivolionae (Blommers, 1974), T. mangleae De Leon, 1967 and T. septentrionalis (Karg, 1977) for shallow disc-shaped calyx and bean shaped atrium. However, the new species widely differs from the close species by the pattern of dorsal shield, length and shape of dorsal shield setae, shape of ventrianal shield, variation in leg macrosetae and denticles in chelicera. All the differences between the new species and the close species are given in Table 5.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B28786FFB1FA6BFF6A9184FD73F03F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
