Abstract

Antennoseius (Antennoseius) brasiliensis Martin & Castilho sp. nov. is described based on the morphology of adult females collected from litter/soil of a pasture of the Caatinga biome (relatively hot and dry), in Alagoas state, northeastern Brazil. A key for the separation of females of the 40 recognizable world species of Antennoseius (Antennoseius) is provided. (AU)
