Neotropical Entomology 30 (4), 579-586
Abstract: Twenty five known mite species of the family Phytoseiidae were found in a survey conducted on trees of the family Euphorbiaceae, including native plant species and rubber tree, in three regions of the State of São Paulo. Several of the species collected were known until now only from the original description. Five of the mite species mentioned in this paper correspond to new combinations. Complementary descriptions of several of the species collected are provided.
