馬祖列島的八種捕植

Eight phytoseiid mites from the Matsu Islands

在馬祖列島採得8種捕植，包括Amblyseius eharai Amitai and Swirski、A. herbicolus (Chant)、A. okinawanus Ehara、A. ovalis (Evans)、A. womersleyi Schicha、Okiseius subtropicus Ehara、Phytoseius crinitus Swirski and Shechter及P. sonunensis Ryu and Ehara。其中，A. eharai、P. crinitus及P. sonunensis未曾記錄於台澎地區，均予以繪圖描述。此外，另採得3隻疑為P. silvaticus Wu and Li之若（尚未採得成蟎）。對馬祖列島而言，這些種類都是新記錄。

"A survey of phytoseiid mites from the Matsu Islands found 8 species, including Amblyseius eharai Amitai and Swirski, A. herbicolus（Chant）, A. okinawanus Ehara, A. ovalis（Evans）, A. womersleyi Schicha, Okiseius subtropicus Ehara, Phytoseius crinitus Swirski and Shechter, and P. sonunensis Ryu and Ehara. Amblyseius eharai, P. crinitus, and P. sonunensis have not previously been recorded from Taiwan or the Penghu Archipelago, and these mites are illustrated with drawings. In addition, 3 nymphs that were collected without associated adults are suspected of being P. silvaticus Wu and Li. These are all new records for Matsu."
