Abstract
Paraphytoseius nicobarensis (Gupta, 1977) is considered to be a junior synonym of Paraphytoseius cracentis (Corpuz & Rimando, 1966). Voucher photos of holotype female, a paratype female, and a paratype male are provided. Difficulties in the identification of seta S5 are discussed. Suggestions are made for researchers to take voucher photos of the holotype specimens and for museums to place these online along with a searchable database of the mites in their collection for benefit of researchers worldwide.
