Paraseiulus scytinus , Moraes et al. 1986: 206 . Kuzinellus scytinus Moraes et al. 2004a: 274 ; Chant & McMurtry 2007: 144 . This species belongs to the ecclesiasticus species group that contains 36 species (Chant and McMurtry 20017) as setae of the dorsal shield are setiform. This species was recorded in Burundi , Rwanda , Australia , Madagascar ( Demite et al. 2019 ) and it was already recorded in previous survey ( Quilici et al. 2000 ; Demite et al. 2019 ). If all details of collections were provided in previous papers, measurements of specimens collected and identified were not given. Measurements of specimens collected during this study are provided in table 37. The biology of this species remains totally unknown. Specimens examined : 2 ♀♀ in total, both measured.

Sources of measurements – Brazil : Souza et al. (2015) ; Guadeloupe : Kreiter & Moraes (1997) ; Holotype Puerto Rico : Denmark (1966) ; -: not provided. Remarks : measurement values s ( Table 37 ) for 2 females of K. scytinus from La Réunion Island collected during this study are very similar from those obtained for females from Madagascar in the original description of Chazeau (1970) and from females collected from Burundi and Rwanda ( Moraes et al. 2008 ).
