Abstract:

Euseius is the only genus reported in the tribe Euseiini of the subfamily Amblyseiinae from Pakistan. A new species, Euseius pakistanensis n.sp., is described from Pakistan, where it was collected from Cyndon dactylon (L.). This paper also re-describes Euseius septicus Chaudhri et al., 1979 with its improved characters, because original description was found inadequate. Nineteen paratypes of Euseius septicus Chaudhri et al., 1979 were examined along with collected material. These two species depict different morphological characters. Both the species are described and illustrated along with a key to Pakistani species of genus Euseius.
