0471C225406EFF88FEB2AB38FEA391B8.taxon	description	Amblyseius (Euseius), DeLeon, 1965: 125 Euseius, DeLeon, 1966: 86; Muma et al., 1970: 92; McMurtry, 1983: 257 Type species: Seiulus finlandicus Oudemans, 1915, by original designation (Wainstein 1962). A slight modification of the definition given by McMurtry (1983) is adopted in this paper, to comprise specimens treated in this paper that differ slightly from that definition, in relation to the length of peritreme and position of preanal setae: females with dorsal shield smooth, striate or reticulate, and with the following setae always present: j 1, j 3 ­ j 6, J 2, J 5, z 2, z 4, z 5, Z 4, Z 5, s 4, S 2, S 4, S 5. Seta Z 1 always present, except for Euseius papayana (Van der Merwe 1965). Setae r 3 and R 1 present, usually on the lateral cuticle of the idiosoma or occasionally on the dorsal shield. Thus, female idiosomal setal pattern (Chant & Yoshida­Shaul 1989) for all species in the genus is 10 A: 9 B / JV­ 3: ZV, except for E. papayana, whose setal pattern is 10 A: 8 A / JV­ 3: ZV. Posterior margin of sternal shield with a median lobe which may be difficult to discern in weakly sclerotized specimens. Genital shield distinctly wider than ventrianal shield, which is usually vase­shaped and widest at level of anal opening. With three pairs of pre­anal setae (JV 1, JV 2, ZV 2), usually arranged almost in a transverse row, with seta JV 1 inserted usually well behind anterior margin of shield. Peritremes most often relatively short, ending behind level of seta j 3. Cheliceral digits with inner margins concave in lateral view; fixed digit with 2 ­ 7 small to minute teeth, all on the distal portion; movable digit with 1 ­ 2 teeth. Macrosetae usually present on genu IV, tibia IV and tarsus IV, often also on genua II and III, and rarely on genu I.	en	Moraes, G. J. De, Ueckermann, E. A., Oliveira, A. R., Yaninek, J. S.

(A.) rotundus to be a junior synonym of A. (A.) brevipes. They kept however the latter as the valid name because of the homonymy between the former and Amblyseiulus rotundus Muma, 1961, both then considered to belong to the genus Amblyseius. The epithet rotundus of Blommers is here revived, in accordance with the Third Edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Article 60 d), because Blommers’ species is now considered to belong to Euseius.

REMARKS: McMurtry (1980) proposed the synonymy indicated for this species based on hybridization tests conducted in laboratory.
