Abstract


Phytoseiid mites (Acari, Phytoseiidae) inhabiting plants in natural ecosystems from Tenerife and La Gomera islands (Canary Islands) have been studied. Surveys were conducted from 1997 to 2002. Eleven species were collected, one of them being reported for the first time from the Canary Islands and six of them reported for the first time from Tenerife and La Gomera islands. Euseius machadoi n. sp. collected from woody plants in the Canarian laurisilva is proposed as a new species.
