Notes:
- This species was described based in two specimens; according to Lindquist (2003), the first specimen, a female (despite being mentioned as a male in the description, figs. 2A, 2B), appears to be a Phytoseiidae, while the second, also a female is a Cheiroseius. The placement of the species name cannot be decided until one of the specimens is assigned as holotype of the described species.v;
