Comments — Yunker (1961) and Muma (1964c) recorded this species from Florida citrus.

It was recorded from Lantana camara L. ( Verbenaceae ) leaves collected from native forests in southeastern Queensland, Australia by Walter (1999). Hagstrum (2013) detected this species on betel nut ( Areca catechu L., Arecaceae ) in Taiwan. It was observed feeding on tydeid mites in domatia on leaves of wild grapes by Walter and Denmark (1991). In the current study, it was collected together with P. latus , T. confusus , E. carpini and T. schoenei phytophagous mites.
