Notes

  1. Measurements and other characters are provided following the redescription of A. transiens by Ueckermann & Khanjani (2004).

  2. According to Ueckermann & Khanjani (2004), Anoplocheylus protea is redescribed based on deutonymph and currently not separable from A. aegyptiacus, but synonymization of these two species could be possible only after discovering and redescription of adult female of A. protea.
