Notes This species belongs to the cucumeris species group of Athias­Henriot (1957) and to the cucumeris species subgroup of Chant & McMurtry (2003 a), which comprises 98 species (Chant & McMurtry, 2003 a). It resembles Neoseiulus caribbeanus (de Leon), especially in the anterior reticulation of the dorsum, the shape of the spermatheca and of the spermatodactyl. It differs however from this species in many characters: length of dorsal setae longer in N. cecileae, especially S­ and Z­series, except for j 1 and j 3 which are smaller in the new species, and j 3 and j 4 which are similar in the two species; metapodal shields which are not coalesced in the new species; macrosetae of leg IV considerably longer in the new species; number of teeth in the fixed digit which seems smaller in the new species, even though this number is missing from the description of N. caribbeanus (de Leon, 1965 a). The new species is also similar to Neoseiulus queenslandensis (McMurtry & Schicha) in relation to setal length, except that Z 4, S 5, r 3 and R 1 are longer in the new species. However, it differs from N. queenslandensis by the following characters: the absence of reticulation of the whole dorsum, the number of solenostomes, which is three in the new species and four in N. queenslandensis, the number of setae on the sternal shield, which is of three for the new species and of two for N. queenslandensis, the absence of a median lobe in the posterior margin of the sternal shield of N. cecileae, the length of macrosetae of the leg IV, which are longer in the new species, the shape of the spermatheca, the atrium being under the cervix and not incorporated into it. The spermatheca of the new species is very similar to that of N. tunus de Leon and N. neotunus (Denmark & Muma) but the lengths of the setae are very different.	en	Kreiter, Serge, Tixier, Marie-Stéphane, Etienne, Jean (2006): New records of phytoseiid mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) from the French Antilles, with description of Neoseiulus cecileae sp. nov.
