Notes

Rimando (1962a) described and illustrated the aedeagus as much thinner and more strongly curved posteriorly to what is presented here of the holotype.

^^ ++  I consider Schizotetranychus baltazarae to be a suspected synonym of S. hindustanicus (Hirst, 1924).  Until I examine and the holotype and paratypes of S. hindustanicus, the name S. baltazarae will be used here.  However, this complicates the distribution records as specimens from northern Australia have been identified as S. hinustanicus.
