Introduction The Phytoseiidae is a group of about 2300 species (Demite et al., 2012) placed in 82 genera by Chant & McMurtry (2007). They are usually considered to be predatory, although their feeding habits vary considerably between species. At one extreme some are strictly predators, while at the other extreme others prefer feeding on pollen (McMurtry & Croft, 1997). Phytoseiids are mainly found on the aerial parts of plants, where they are usually the most abundant predatory mites. Some species have been extensively produced and commercialised for the control of pest mites, especially of the family Tetranychidae (Gerson et al., 2003). About 160 phytoseiid species have been reported from Brazil, including about 100 from the State of São Paulo (southeast Brazil), on both cultivated plants and on the natural vegetation. Atlantic Forest and Cerrado are the main biomes of the State of São Paulo. These were considered by Myers et al. (2000) to represent global biodiversity hotspots that are under severe anthropogenic pressure. In a recent paper, Castro & Moraes (2010) referred to the high diversity of phytoseiids in the Atlantic Forest of São Paulo. The present paper is a taxonomic treatment of the species reported in that paper, as well as of species found in an extensive survey conducted in the Cerrado, whose results have not been reported before.

Material and methods Surveys in the Atlantic Forest were conducted in the following locations within each vegetation type: Restinga [Ilha Comprida (25°00'59" S, 47°52'33" W) and Cananéia (24°53'35" S, 47°50'14" W; 24°57'32" S, 47°54'34" W; 24°53'54" S, 47°50'14" W; 24°53'50" S, 47°50'18" W; 24°54'06" S, 47°50'30" W)]; Tropical Rain Forest [Pariquera-Açu (24°36'51" S, 47°53'22" W; 24°36'50" S, 47°52'45" W)]; and Semi deciduous Seasonal Forest [Piracicaba (22°42'30" S, 47°37'40" W), Itu (23°12'86" S, 47°10'70" W), Tapiraí (24°01'47" S, 47°34'45" W) and Juquiá (24°10'50" S, 47°38'04" W; 24°12'34" S, 47°36'44" W)]. In the Cerrado, surveys were conducted in São Carlos (21°54'50" S, 47°49'21" W), Pirassununga (21°56'20" S, 47°28'26" W) and Luis Antonio (21°36'13" S and 47°47'17" W). Samples were collected from 187 plant species in the Atlantic Forest and 16 plant species in the Cerrado. The samples were taken to a laboratory, where they were examined under a stereomicroscope. The phytoseiids were mounted in Hoyer´s medium for identification by phase contrast microscopy. Idiosomal setal notation used in this paper is that of Lindquist & Evans (1965), as applied to the phytoseiids by Rowell et al. (1978) and Chant & Yoshida-Shaul (1989) for the dorsal surface, and by Chant & Yoshida-Shaul (1991) for the ventral surface. Macrosetal notation (Sge, genual macroseta; Sti, tibial macroseta; St, tarsal macroseta) is that of Muma et al. (1970). The system of classification follows that of Chant & McMurtry (2007). Measurements of different structures are given for the new species; for other species, measurements are only provided when they are not available in the literature for specimens from São Paulo state. Measurements are given in micrometres, each measurement corresponding to the average for the mites collected in this study followed (in parentheses) by the respective ranges. Numbers of teeth on the fixed and movable cheliceral digits do not include the apical tooth. Leg macrosetae not mentioned in the text should be considered as indistinguishable. Abbreviations used for depositories of type specimens are: ESALQ-USP (Escola Superior de Agricultura “Luiz de Queiroz”, Universidade de São Paulo, Piracicaba, Satate of São Paulo, Brazil) and DZSJRP (Universidade Estadual Paulista, UNESP, São José do Rio Preto, State of São Paulo, Brazil).

Results and discussion In total 50 species in 18 genera were found; ten species and two genera are new to science.

Genus Amblyseius Berlese Amblyseius acalyphus Denmark & Muma Amblyseius acalyphus Denmark & Muma, 1973: 243; 1989: 75; Moraes et al., 1986: 6; 2004b: 12; Feres & Moraes, 1998: 125; Ferla & Moraes, 2002a: 880; Chant & McMurtry, 2004a: 203; 2007: 74; Lofego et al., 2004: 2; 2009: 42.

Specimens examined. Pirassununga, April 2001, 2 females on unidentified Asteraceae. Pirassununga, August 2002, 2 females on Myrcia sp.; São Carlos, September 2001, 2 females on Byrsonima intermedia A. Juss., 2 females on Didymopanax vinosum March. and 1 female on Duguetia furfuracea (A. St. Hal.) Benth. & Hook. f Previous records. Brazil [States of São Paulo (Moraes et al., 2004b); Mato Grosso (Ferla & Moraes, 2002a) and Minas Gerais (Silva et al., 2010)] and French Antilles (Kreiter et al., 2006). Remarks. The measurements of six adult females collected fit the original description, except for the shorter Z5 [158 (160–172) for these specimens and 220 in the original description]. This difference was also reported in previous papers (Feres & Moraes, 1998, 2002; Lofego et al., 2004, 2009). The specimens examined in this work have seven and two teeth on the fixed and movable cheliceral digits respectively (these parameters were not previously reported in the literature). In the original description of this species, the illustration of the calyx suggests the existence of a transverse plate-like structure near the mid length of the spermathecal calyx, which was mentioned by Denmark & Muma (1989) and Ferla & Moraes (2002). Observations of specimens collected in this work indicate that the structure corresponds to the end of the calyx next to the vesicle. Thus, what was implied as being a distal continuation of the calyx beyond that structure in the original description corresponds the constricted section of a spermatophore inside the vesicle. Figures 1–3 show spermathecae with apparently containing zero, one and three spermatophores.

Etymology. The name atlanticus refers to “Mata Atlantica” (Atlantic Forest), the biome from wich the type specimens were collected. Remarks. This new species is similar to Amblyseius quadridens Karg & Oomen-Kalsbeek, 1987 and Amblyseius saacharus Wu, 1981. Amblyseius quadridens differs from this new species by having s4, Z4, Z5, Sge IV and St IV shorter (47, 56, 80, 65 and 75 respectively) and the movable cheliceral digit with four teeth. Amblyseius saacharus differs by having j1, s4, Z4, Z5, and r3 shorter (15–17, 36–40, 53–58, 77–80 and 7 respectively) and spermathecal calyx saccular.

Spermatheca. Calyx bell-shaped to saccular, 11–13 long; atrium almost indistinguishable. Leg macrosetae. Sge I 34–39, Sge II 36–40, Sge III 39–40, Sti III 29–33, Sge IV 88–90, Sti IV 71–75, St IV 84– 92, all pointed. Chaetotaxy: genu II 1–2/1, 2/0–1 genu III 1–2/1, 2/0–1. Male. Unknown. Etymology. The name pariquerassuensis is a compound of pariquerassu (from Pariquera-Açu) and ensis (Latin suffix denoting place of origin), referring to the type-locality of the species. Remarks. Proprioseiopsis pariquerassuensis n. sp. belongs to the peruvianus species group, but it is also similar to the subgroup belizensis of the belizensis species group (Chant & McMurtry, 2007). This new species is similar to Proprioseiopsis miconiae Moraes & Mesa, 1991 and Proprioseiopsis caliensis Moraes & Mesa, 1988.

Etymology. Serraseius is a compound of Serra (Latin for saw) plus seius (a Roman surname commonly used to compose names of mesostigmatic mites) referring to the serration of all dorsal shield setae of both adult males and females of type species. Remarks. Serraseius does not fit any of the designated tribes of Amblyseiinae. It most closely resembles Neoseiulini, by having most of the dorsal shield setae of relatively similar lengths (j1, j4, J5, z2 and z5 distinctly shorter), few teeth on the fixed cheliceral digit, and no leg macrosetae. However, the absence of S2 and the very lightly sclerotised sternal shield (apparently with a median lobe on the posterior margin) has no parallel among the species presently placed in this tribe. The reduced size of the ventrianal shield is only shared with some Neoseiuliini (some specimens of Eharius chergui, Athias-Henriot, 1960). Females and males of this new genus are similar to those of the Neoseiuliini Paragigagnathus Amitai & Grinberg by having a fixed cheliceral digit with a reduced number of teeth, all distally located (a similar type of chelicera is also found in the Typhlodrominae Gigagnathus Chant and Typhloseiella Muma). They also resemble three of the four Proprioseiulus species (Amblyseiinae) by having the same dorsal shield setal pattern. However, mites of these genera differ from Serraseius by not having the same combination of other morphological characteristics.

Specimens collected in this study in Pariquera-Açu have shorter j3, s4, S2, Z5, Sge II, Sge IV and St IV than specimens from the other two localities (Itu and Piracicaba), wich have j3 longer than mentioned in the original description (21), as also reported by Moraes & Mesa (1988) (25–31) for specimen from Colombia. Similarly to what was observed for specimens collected in this study, Sge I and Sge II have been consistently mentioned as pointed in the literature (including the original description), whereas macrosetae of leg IV have been consistently mentioned as knob-tipped. However, some differences have been reported in relation to Sge III: while mentioned as knob-tipped in the original description, Moraes & McMurtry (1983) mentioned it as pointed for some and bulbous for other populations from northeast Brazil, whereas Moraes & Mesa (1988) reported it as pointed for Colombian populations.

Chaetotaxy: genu II: 1–2/1, 2/0– 1; genu III: 1–2/1, 2/0–1. Male. Unknown. Etymology. The name feresisimilis is a compound of feresi (of Typhlodromalus feresi Lofego, Moraes & McMurtry, 2000) and similis (Latin for similar), referring to the similarity between this new species and T. feresi. Remarks. Typhlodromalus feresisimilis n. sp. is similar to T. feresi. The latter differs from this new species by having shorter j3, Z4, Z5, Sge I, Sge IV, St IV and spermathecal calyx (25–26, 39–40, 56–57, 7, 23–25, 30 and 28– 32 respectively). In addition, T. feresi has most dorsal setae knob-tipped.

The measurements of six adult females collected in this study fit the original description. In a redescription of the species based on specimens from São Paulo, Zacarias & Moraes (2001) reported that some dorsal setae were shorter (j1 30–32, z2 8–9, z4 11 and S5 11–14) and Sge IV was longer (65–73) than reported in the original description (j1 36, z2 14, z4 14, S5 16 and Sge IV 59). In the specimens examined in this study, the ranges of the lengths of those setae (j1 29–35, z2 8–11, z4 12–16, S5 12–15 and Sge IV 54–78) are in between or partially overlap the values given in the original description and those of Zacarias & Moraes (2001). As also mentioned by Zacarias & Moraes (2001), the specimens collected in this study have dorsal shield with less conspicuous lateral notches at level of s4 than reported in the original description. In addition, the fixed cheliceral digit has more teeth (14–15) than reported by Zacarias & Moraes (2001) (11–13) and in the original description (7).

Chaetotaxy: genu II 1–2/0, 2/1–2; genu III 1–2/1, 2/0–1. Male. Unknown. Etymology. The name paucisetis is a compound of pauci (Latin for few) and setis (Latin for setae), referring to the few opisthogastric setae (JV2, JV3, JV4 and ZV3 absent). Remarks. The species here described is most similar to Cocoseius elsalvador Denmark & Andrews, 1981 but the latter has shorter z2 (18) and longer j5, j6, J2 and s4 (52, 63, 60 and 76 respectively). In addition, it has a shorter peritreme (extending to the level of s4), six pairs opisthogastric setae (JV1, JV2, JV5, ZV1, ZV2 and ZV3) and longer calyx of spermatheca (17–23).

Tribe Galendromimini Chant & McMurtry Genus Breviseius n. gen. Type species. Breviseius sennae n. sp., by original designation. Diagnosis. Females and males with dorsal shield setae uniformly short; seta z3 absent and s6 present; fixed cheliceral digit with few teeth, short JV5, and no leg macrosetae; sternal shield of female reduced, bearing only St2 and two pairs of lyrifissures; St1 on unesclerotised cuticle; St3 inserted on separate platelets; ventrianal shield reduced, bearing a pair of pre-anal setae (JV2) and a pair of pores; setae JV3 and ZV3 absent. Adult female. Dorsum of idiosoma with 19 pairs of setae, including seven setae of the j-J series (j1, j3–j6, J2, J5), five setae of the z-Z series (z2, z4, z5, Z4 and Z5), five setae of the s-S series (s4, s6, S2, S4 and S5) and two setae of the r-R series (r3 and R1). Dorsal idiosomal setae short and smooth. Dorsal shield mostly smooth, with anterolateral reticula. Sternal shield of female reduced, bearing only St2 and two pairs of lyrifissures; St1 on unesclerotised cuticle; St3 inserted on separate platelets; St4 set on metasternal shields. With six pairs of opisthogastric setae (JV1, JV2, JV4, JV5, ZV1 and ZV2) in addition to circumanals. Ventrianal shield reduced, ovoid, with a single pair of pre-anal setae (JV2) and a pair of pores. With two pairs of metapodal plates, both of each side almost in line. Peritreme extending almost to the level of j1. Fixed and movable cheliceral digits with three and two teeth respectively. Leg macrosetae absent. Adult male. Chaetotaxy of dorsum of idiosoma, relative lengths and shape of dorsal idiosomal setae and pattern of dorsal shield similar to female, except for that r3 and R1, inserted on dorsal shield. Only three pairs of pre-anal setae (JV1, JV2 and ZV2); short JV5. Spermatodactyl L-shaped. No leg macrosetae. Etymology. Breviseius is a compound of brevis (Latin for short) plus seius (a Roman surname commonly used to compose names of mesostigmatic mites), referring to the short dorsal shield setae of the type species of this genus. Remarks. Breviseius n. g. fits the characterisation of the tribe Galendromimini, described by Chant & McMurtry (1994). Within this tribe, the presence of S4 and S5 is shared with Cydnoseius Muma; the absence of Z1 is shared with Silvaseius Chant & McMurtry; the elongate tubular-like spermathecal calyx and the small number of teeth on the fixed cheliceral digit are shared with Silvaseius and Galendromimus (Galendromimus). Those groups differ from Breviseius by the following characteristics: Cydnoseius–presence of Z1 and ZV3; Z5 distinctly longer than other dorsal setae; calyx of spermatheca dish-shaped; presence of macroseta on tarsus of genu IV; Silvaseius – z4 inserted mesad its usual position; absence of S2 and S4; j3, s4, s6, Z4 and Z5 distinctly longer than other dorsal setae; fixed cheliceral digit multidentate; legs III and IV with macrosetae; Galendromimus
