Amblyseius ( Neoseiulus ) subreticulatus : Wu et al . 2009: 106–107 . Neoseiulus subreticulatus: Chant & McMurtry, 2003: 23 ; Moraes et al ., 2004: 145 ; Chant & McMurtry, 2007: 31 ; Wu et al . 2010: 295 . Neoseiulus subreticulatus (Wu) was originally described as Amblyseius subreticulatus based on adult females and males collected from Artemisia sp. , citrus, grass and Pyrus sp. in Heilongjiang , Jiangxi , Jilin , Liaoning and Xinjiang , China by Wu (1987) . It was subsequently recorded in Guangdong and Guangxi ( Wu et al. 2009 ). Wu (1987) compared N. subreticulatus with N. reticulatus (Oudemans) redescribed by Nesbitt (1951) , Cunliffe and Baker (1953) and Chant (1959) but unfortunately, overlooked Neoseiulus zwoelferi (Dosse) . Thanks to İsmail Döker reminder, we re-checked the key characters of the type specimens of N. subreticulatus (Wu) and speciemens in our collection, confirming N. subreticulatus (Wu) to be a junior synonym of Neoseiulus zwoelferi (Dosse) .
