Abstract
The larva, protonymph and deutonymph of Hemipteroseius indicus (Krantz & Khot, 1962) are described from specimens collected on the red cotton bug, Dysdercus sp.(Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) in India and Democratic Republic of Congo. These are compared with the characteristics of the adult female. In addition, the complete chaetotaxy of the dorsal and ventral idiosoma and some details of the gnathosoma and legs are given. These are compared with the published details of Hemipteroseius adleri, H. womersleyi, Nabiseius duplicisetus, Noctuiseius treati, and Prasadiseius cocytes representing four genera and six species of Otopheidomenidae. Five tables and many colored figures with details, including a pharate female and a pharate male, are included.
