Amblydromella ilicis .—Moraes et al . 1986: 164. Typhlodromus ( Anthoseius ) ilicis . — Moraes et al ., 2004: 330. This species is mainly reported from the Mediterranean basin on oaks. It was already known from Morocco , where it was found by McMurtry & Bonfour (1989) on Quercus sp. and by Tixier et al . (2003) on Quercus ilex . Among the 21 specimens collected in the present survey 15 were found on Quercus ilex and Q . coccifera . This suggests a quite narrow relationship between this species and plants of the genus Quercus . Nothing is known of its biology. Specimens examined: 2002, Aïoun Asserdoun Spring on Quercus ilex (Fagaceae) ( 3 females ), Azrou, Gouraud Cedar on Quercus ilex (Fagaceae) ( 3 females ), Road of Beni Mellal, 70 Kms of Kenifra on Centaurea sp.
