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 .
