Abstract
A new species, Proctolaelaps elcotoy Gómez-Moya and Martin, n. sp., is described from the Dominican Republic (in the Hispaniola Island), based on adult females and males collected from adults of Conotelus sp. (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) found in flowers of passionfruit (Passiflora edulis Sims, Passifloraceae). Conotelus species have been reported in Brazil to cause significant damage to passionfruit.
