Abstract
We recently proposed a subfamily, Chantiinae Pritchard and Baker, 1962, containing the genera Chantia Pritchard and Baker, 1962 and Diadromus Athias-Henriot, 1960 in the family Phytoseiidae (Chant and Yoshida-Shaul 1986). We have since learned that the genus group name Diadromus Athias-Henriot, 1960 is preoccupied by Diadromus Wesmael (1844) (Insecta: Hymenoptera). The name Chanteius Wainstein, 1962, which was treated in our 1986 paper as a junior objective synonym of Diadromus Athias-Henriot, 1960, therefore becomes the valid name for this genus. In view of this change in nomenclature, the two genera in the subfamily Chantiinae as proposed in our 1986 paper are Chantia Pritchard and Baker and Chanteius Wainstein.We are grateful to Dr. Ian Gauld of the British Museum (Natural History) for having brought this homonymy to our attention.
