Abstract

Thirteen species of phytoseiid mites collected from the Netherlands are re-described and illustrated. Among them 9 are new species records for the Dutch fauna and Metaseiulus (Metaseiulussmithi (Schuster, 1957) is a new record for Europe. Metaseiulus (Metaseiulusneosmithi nom. nov. Faraji is proposed as a replacement name for Metaseiulus (Metaseiulussmithi Denmark & Evans, 2011. Also, Kampimodromus coryli Meshkov, 1999 is considered as a junior synonym of Kampimodromus langei (Wainstein & Arutunjan, 1973).
