Type species: Phytoseius purseglovei De Leon, 1965 View in CoL .

Following the classificatory scheme of Chant & McMurtry (1994), Phytoseius birbikrami sp. nov. belongs to the purseglovei View in CoL species group by having female idiosomal setal pattern 12A:4A/JV3,4: ZV, setae z3, s6, R1, JV2, ZV3 are present.

Type species: Phytoseius horridus Ribaga, 1904 View in CoL , sensu Athias-Henriot, 1957.
