List, Key and a New Record of the Genera and Species of the Subfamily Typhlodrominae (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in Korea
This study treated the list and key to the 8 species of the subfamily Typhlodrominae from Korea including a newly recorded species, T. coryli Wu and Lan, 1991. This subfamily comprises four genera: Kuzinellus Wainstein, Paraseiulus Muma, Galendromus Muma, Typhlodromus Scheuten. Key characters of the genera in Typhlodrominae have been well known as the number and position of the dorsal setae. Therefore, Typhlodrominae was previously referred to one genus, Typhlodromus in Korea. However, the nominal species in the Phytoseiidae has increased in number exponentially more than 2,280 in the world today, so the current classification of the family is taken more genera by other characters, not only dorsal chaetotaxy but also the setation and the nature of the posterior margin of the sternal shield, the shape and setation of the ventrianal shield, setation of legs I-IV and the relative lengths of the setae Z4 and Z5. Thus, Korean Typhlodrominae includes four genera, Kuzinellus Wainstein, Paraseiulus Muma, Galendromus Muma and Typhlodromus Scheuten.
