Comments: The genera Agistemus Summers and Zetzellia Oudemans are the second most important predator group after Phytoseiidae ( Gerson et al., 2003) . Gonzalez-Rodriguez (1963) firstly reported A. collyerae in New Zealand. It was also found Australia, Iran, Italy, Portugal, Turkey ( Fan et al., 2016) and South Africa ( Saccaggi and Ueckermann, 2018). Saccaggi and Ueckermann (2018) declared that it was detected on products imported from USA, Chile, Yemen, Spain and France to South Africa. In Turkey, the predatory mite was found on Quercus robur L. ( Fagaceae ) and Cupressocyparis leylandii (A.B. Jacks. & Dallim.) (Cupressaceae) in İstanbul ( Yeşilayer and Çobanoğlu, 2013) and Malus domestica Borkh. (Rosales) in Çanakkale ( Kasap et al., 2013). It is known to feed on Tetranychus lambi Pritchard & Baker ( Trombidiformes : Tetranychidae ) and Aculus fockeui (Nalepa & Trouessart) ( Trombidiformes : Eriophyidae ) ( Saccaggi and Ueckermann, 2018).
