Typhlodromus ( Anthoseius ) hartlandrowei , Moraes et al. 2004b: 328 , Chant & McMurtry 2007: 155, Ueckermann et al. 2008: 50 . This species belongs to the bergi species group ( Chant and McMurtry 1994 ). The biology of this species is unknown. This is the first mention of this species outside the African continent. The male was unknown until our study but one male has been collected and will be described in a following paper. World distribution : Anjouan Island, DR Congo , Mohéli Island, Nigeria , Uganda . Specimens examined : two specimens ( 1 ♀ and 1 imm. ) collected during this study. Mdé , INRAPE ( 51 m aasl, lat. 11°44 ′ 12 ″ S , long. 43°14 ′ 59 ″ E ), 1 ♀ on Mangifera indica L. ( Anacardiaceae ), 6/XII/2018 ; Mvouni , University of Comoros ( 434 m aasl, lat. 11°43 ′ 11 ″ S , long. 43°16 ′ 31 ″ E ), 1 im. on Ricinus communis L. ( Euphorbiaceae ), 6/XII/2018 . Remarks : morphological and morphometric characters and all measurements of our specimens ( Table 9 ) fit well with measurements of the original description given by Evans Table 8 Character measurements of adult females of Typhlodromus ( Anthoseius ) grewiae collected in this study compared to those obtained in previous studies (localities followed by the number of specimens measured between brackets).
