Type species: Typhlodromus alveolaris De Leon, 1967 Six species are placed today in Galendromimus ( Galendromimus ) , including the new species described here. These are distinguished from the only species of the other subgenus ( Nothoseius ) by the presence of JV3 ; the absence of JV4 and ZV3 ; the possible presence of J2 and the possible absence of S5 ; leg macrosetae absent; and calyx of spermatheca tubular (in some species inflated near atrium). Remarks. Chant & McMurtry (1994) proposed two species groups in Galendromimus ( Galendromimus ) , based on the presence or absence of seta S5 — the alveolaris group, with S5 , and the sanctus group, without S5 . Four species are presently included in the alveolaris group: G . ( G .) alveolaris , G . ( G .) multipoculi Zacarias, Moraes & McMurtry , G . ( G .) paulista Zacarias & Moraes and G . ( G .) tunapunensis De Leon. The sanctus species group contains a single species, G . ( G .) sanctus . Considering the importance attributed to the presence or absence of z 3 in phytoseiid classification, it was concluded that the new species described here should be classified by itself in a new group, the roraimensis species group, with its own setal pattern (Table 1). When G . ( G .) roraimensis sp. n. is included in the Galendromimini, the first half of couplet 2 of the key provided by Chant & McMurtry (1994: 237) to separate subtribes of Typhlodrominae should be modified as follows: “Seta z3 absent [except Galendromus ( Galendromimus ) roraimensis sp. n. ]…….3.
