03DC87C4FFA2A92E0BE2FED0CEB3FAEB.taxon	description	(Figure 1) Diagnosis This new species belongs to the americanus species group (Chant and McMurtry 2004), characterized as having the z 4 longer than z 2, at least 2 / 3 as long as the distance between its base and that of s 4. Amblyseius ica sp. nov. also belongs to the dombeyus species subgroup, since it has an elongate and tubular calyx. This subgroup was previously represented by a single species, Amblyseius dombeyus (Denmark and Evans, 1999). The new species differs from A. dombeyus by having setae j 3 and z 4 shorter (0.5), and pre-anal pores placed posterior and longitudinally aligned with the base of setae JV 2, whereas in A. dombeyus they are mesad and transversely aligned with the bases of setae JV 2.
