Previous records: Brazil , Japan and USA . Remarks: This species was the most abundant tarsonemid found on plants of the Myrtaceae family in the Cerrado of São Paulo State in the survey carried out by Lofego & Moraes (2006) . DeLeon (1956) and Lofego et al . (2005) suggested that this species is phytophagous. However, Suski (1967) could not exclude the possibility that it also feeds on lichen and fungi.
