Remarks.
This species is cosmopolitan and has been introduced all over the world for biological control purposes. It is particularly common in
America
. This species has been frequently reported on apple, pear and citrus and also on horticultural plants. According to a recent phylogenetic analysis (Tsolakis
et al
., 2012),
N
.
californicus
would belong to a genus defined by Athias-Henriot and not considered in the
Phytoseiidae
revision of Chant & McMurtry (2007):
Cydnodromus
