Remarks.

I examined a well preserved paratype of Ameroseius wilsoni deposited at the Natural History Museum in London, concluding that it should be included in Neocypholaelaps . The original description and illustrations given by Allred (1970) are quite adequate and do not require amendment, except for the sperm induction apparatus. In the studied specimen, spermathecal ducts (tubuli annulati) are well indicated, and they enter the sacculus foemineus independently.
