Notes:
- (a): The record of A. obtusus from South Australia, Australia (Womersley, 1954) was considered a misidentification by Chant (1957c). Those specimens were considered as probably Amblyseius sellnicki Karg by Athias-Henriot (1966). Wainstein (1977) checked the specimens reported by Womersley and identified them as four different species: Amblyseius [sic] messor Wainstein, Amblyseius [sic] australograminis Wainstein, Amblyseius graminis Chant and Typhloctonus [sic] cottieri (Collyer). Schicha (1983) agreed with Wainstein on the reidentification of A. [sic] messor. ;
- (b): Specimens from Italy (Berlese, 1889, 1914, Chant, 1957c) reidentified as A. sellnicki — Karg (1960). Because the mites reported by Chant (1957c, 1959b) are considered conspecific with those from Italy, they should probably be A. sellnicki rather than A. obtusus — see Athias-Henriot (1966). ;
- (c): Specimens reported by Athias-Henriot (1957a, 1959) reidentified as Proprioseiopsis messor (Wainstein) — Athias-Henriot (1961). Specimens reported by Athias-Henriot (1958b) were considered Typhlodromus mexicanus (Garman) [sic] by Chant (1959b), and reidentified as P. messor by Athias-Henriot (1961). ;
- (d): Specimens reported by Schweizer (1922, 1949) reidentified as A. meridionalis — Schweizer (1961). ;
- (e): Specimens reported by Westerboer & Bernhard (1963) reidentified as A. sellnicki — Karg (1971b). ;
- (f): Nomen nudum — Oudemans (1936) (but see Yoshida-Shaul & Chant, 1995a).;
