Abstract
Species of Iphiseiodes De Leon have been reported only from tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. In this paper, a new species of this genus is described from southeastern Brazil and a complementary description is provided for Iphiseiodessaopaulus (Denmark & Muma). A revision of Iphiseiodes De Leon was published by Aponte & McMurtry (1995). At that time, it included five species: Iphiseiodes kamahorae De Leon, 1966, Iphiseiodes neonobilis Denmark & Muma, 1978, Iphiseiodes nobilis (Chant& Baker, 1965), Iphiseiodes quadripilis (Banks, 1904) and Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark & Muma, 1972. Since then, two new species were described in this genus (Iphiseiodes setillus Gondim Jr. & Moraes, 2001 and Iphiseiodes moraesi Ferla & Silva, 2011) andtwo species originally described as Amblyseius Berlese (A. saopaulus Denmark & Muma, 1973 and A. metapodalis El-Banhawy, 1984) were transferred into it (Chant & McMurtry, 2004). A redescription of this genus was presented by Chant & McMurtry (2004).
