Comments: Neoseiulella tiliarum was found on linden trees in Germany ( Oudemans, 1930). Nesbitt (1951) recorded it on apple, linden and pear trees in Canada. More recently, it has been found in many countries, including Turkey, on different plants ( Swirski and Amitai 1982; Düzgüneş and KılıÇ, 1983; Denmark and Rather, 1996). It feeds on tetranychid and eriophyoid mites ( Jeppson et al., 1975; Kozlowski and Kozlowska, 1991).
