Remarks — Amblyseius bryophilus was first described on moss and humus in Germany by Karg (1970). It has been found in various countries worldwide including France, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Serbia, and Türkiye ( Demite et al. 2023). In Türkiye, this species was collected from P. vulgaris in Rize province ( Döker et al. 2014a, 2020), M. domestica ( Akyol and Akyazı 2022) and P. laurocerasus trees ( Akyazı et al. 2022b) in Ordu. According to McMurtry et al. (2013), Amblyseius spp. are classified as generalist predators with a Type

III lifestyle. Additionally, it was found that most Amblyseius species live on glabrous leaves (subtype III-b), with some species found in soil/litter habitats (subtype III-e). It has also been observed that species with smooth bodies (mostly minute setae and no ornamentation of dorsal shield), such as Amblyseius spp. , inhabit smooth leaves. However, there is no information directly on A. bryophilus ’s feeding habits and habitat preferences.
