EM Khan .</p><p>Remarks</p><p>Neosieulus arabicus is morphologically close to a group of five species following the identification key to species of the paspalivorus species group (Döker et al., 2021) i.e. Neoseiulus bheraensis Chaudhri, Akbar &amp; Rasool, 1979, N. lula (Pritchard &amp; Baker, 1962), N. paspalivorus (De Leon, 1957), N. shambati (El-Badry, 1968) and N. taiwanicus (Ehara, 1970), by having one tooth on the movable digit of chelicerae, only leg IV with only one macrosetae and posterior and anterior margins of dorsal shield subequal in width. In the new species, the seta Z5 is almost 1.5 times longer than macroseta STIV. This character state brings the new species closer to N. lula (seta Z5 and macroseta STIV subequal (1.2 times) in length), following the key to species of paspalivorus species group by Döker et al., (2021) at couplet 10. While, in the other four species, as mentioned above, the seta Z5 is at least two times or more than two times longer than STIV. The new species differs from N. lula by the number of teeth on the fixed digit (five vs. eight in N. lula), length of peritremes (reaching the level of j3 vs. reaching to setae j 1 in N. lula), the shape of pre-anal pores (crescent vs. rounded in N. lula), and setae Z4 (smooth vs. serrate in N. lula).</p><p>The new species also differs from N. bheraensis, N. paspalivorus, N. shambati and N. taiwanicus mainly by the seta Z5 1.5 times longer than macroseta STIV vs at least two or more than two times longer in other four species (STIV is longest (40–45) in the new species compared to 31, 15–20, 24 and 20 long in other species, respectively) (Döker et al., 2021). Additionally, N. arabicus has a reticulated sternal shield (smooth in N. bheraensis and N. shambati), pre-anal pores gv3 crescent shaped (rounded distinct in N. paspalivorus and N. taiwanicus), five teeth on fixed digit (six teeth in N. paspalivorus and three teeth in N. shambati) and peritremes reaching to the level of seta j3 (reaching to seta j 1 in N. paspalivorus and reaching between setae j1–j 3 in N. bheraensis, N. shambati and N. taiwanicus).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/91788782FF85FFC3FF28FD8F5A25CA92	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
