Comments: Amblyseius herbicolus has very wide distribution in the world ( Demite et al., 2017). In Turkey, this predatory species was firstly reported on persimmon trees in Ordu by Akyazı et al. (2016). AltunÇ and Akyazı (2019), Akyol (2019) and Döker et al. (2020) also found it on stone, pome and citrus fruit trees, respectively. This mite was classified as Subtype III-c-Generalist predators living in confined space on dicotyledonous plants by McMurtry et al. (2013).
