Notes:
- Specimens from Germany (Karg, 1960) reported as N. reticulatus are probably N. zwoelferi — Athias-Henriot (1966). Probably, the mites from California, USA, mentioned by Cunliffe & Baker (1953), Kennett (1958) and Nesbitt (1951) as N. reticulatus are also N. zwoelferi, as Schuster & Pritchard (1963) do not report the former species but do report the closely related N. zwoelferi.;
