D30B87B8FFB97414FF39FF54F9F1F94E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the plumifer species group, characterized with the presence of setae J 2 and R 1 (Chant & Yoshida-Shaul 1992 a). This species is unique among other species of this group in terms of having a very short peritreme. The peritreme not reaching the base of any podonotal setae even s 4. Dorsal shield almost smooth, bearing two pairs of solenostomes; dorsal setae serrated except j 4, j 5, j 6, J 2, J 5, z 5 and R 1 smooth; sternal and ventrianal shield each with three pairs of setae; fixed digit of chelicera with three teeth and movable digit with two teeth; calyx of spermatheca goblet-shaped; genu II with 7 setae.	en	Döker, İsmail, Kazak, Cengiz, Karut, Kamil (2015): A new species and two new records of the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) from Turkey.
