Species Neoseiulus bellinus (Womersley, 1954)
- Typhlodromus bellinus Womersley, H. 1954. Species of the subfamily Phytoseiinae (Acarina : Laelaptidae) from Australia. Australian Journal of Zoology 2: 169-191.
Introduction
This species has been the subject of some confusion and misidentification. Neoseiulus bellinus has sometimes been considered a synonym of Neoseiulus cucumeris, but Beard (1999, 2001) showed that these are two different species. The catalogue of de Moraes et al. (2004) confirmed the occurrence of both N. bellinus and N. cucumeris in Australia, but their records show a complex series of misidentifications of both species.
