Seta Z1 always present, except for Euseius papayana ( Van der Merwe 1965). Setae r3 and R1 present, usually on the lateral cuticle of the idiosoma or occasionally on the dorsal shield. Thus, female idiosomal setal pattern (Chant &amp; Yoshida­Shaul 1989) for all species in the genus is 10A:9B/JV­3:ZV, except for E. papayana, whose setal pattern is 10A:8A/JV­3: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 (JV1, JV2, ZV2), usually arranged almost in a transverse row, with seta JV1 inserted usually well behind anterior margin of shield. Peritremes most often relatively short, ending behind level of seta j3. Cheliceral digits with inner margins concave in lateral view; fixed digit with 2­7 small to minute teeth, all on the distal portion; movable digit with 1­2 teeth. Macrosetae usually present on genu IV, tibia IV and tarsus IV, often also on genua II and III, and rarely on genu I.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0471C225406EFF88FEB2AB38FEA391B8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

They are considered to belong to a single species because of the continuous cline observed between the shortest and the longest measurements of each particular structure, the correlation between the size of the mite and the length of each of those structures and the variable lengths observed for individuals within particular populations. The average measurements of the specimens collected agree well with those of the original description as well as with those provided by Ueckermann (1996) for specimens from Yemen. All observed specimens from Sierra Leone and most specimens from Cameroon have calyx of spermatheca typically trumpet shaped, similar to the drawings of the original description and of Ueckermann (1996); those from Benin have calyx tubular, with an abrupt increase in diameter near the vesicle; 2 specimens from Cameroon have the calyx more similar to but not typically of the later type.</p><p>SPECIMENS EXAMINED: Benin: Koko­Bante, on tree 3, 18­XI­89, G.J.
