Chanteius ( Deleoneius ) Wainstein, 1962 : 19 (synonymy according to Chant & McMurtry, 1994 ). Nothoseius De Leon, 1965 : 127 (synonymy according to Chant & McMurtry, 1994 ). Typhlodromus ( Galendromimus ) .— van der Merwe, 1968 : 63 . Kampimodromus ( Galendromimus ) .— Karg, 1983 : 305 . Type species: Typhlodromus alveolaris De Leon, 1967 Chant & McMurtry (1994) included four species in this genus, and characterised it by the following attributes: setae s6 and Z1 present; setae z3 , S2 , S4 and R1 absent; some dorsal shield setae, especially Z4 and Z5 , elongate, thick and strongly serrate. Three other species are now placed in Galendromimus , including the new species described here. As previously pointed out for Galendromimini, the inclusion of the new species described in this paper in Galendromimus requires that z 3 may occasionally be found in species of this group. Additional characteristics of Galendromimus are: seta Z1 present; J2 , S5 , JV3 , JV4 and ZV3 present or absent (leading to five possible setal patterns in this small genus—Table 1); sternal and genital shields smooth; sternal shield lightly sclerotised; ventrianal shield subrectangular, constricted at level of JV3 , mostly smooth anterior to anal opening and reticulate elsewhere, with four pairs of pre-anal setae ( JV1 , JV2 , JV3 and ZV2 ) and a pair of preanal pores of variable position and size; fixed cheliceral digit with few teeth, anteriad of pilus dentilis ; leg macrosetae absent [differentiated seta on basitarsus IV of G . ( N .) borinquensis , not much longer than neighboring setae]; spermatheca variable; and distal end of peritreme anteriad of j3 [except G . ( G .) alveolaris ]. Chant & McMurtry (1994) recognised two subgenera in this genus, Galendromimus ( Galendromimus ) Muma and Galendromimus ( Nothoseius ) De Leon. The latter has only one species, G . ( N .) borinquensis (De Leon) .
