World distribution — Iran and Turkmenistan.

Specimens examined — 3 ♀♀ + 1 im. associated with tetranychid mites on Ricinus communis L. ( Euphorbiaceae ), specimens collected in April 2019, at the Bottom of Aourir river, between Alma and Aourir villages, Agadir Ida Outanan Province, in the argan forest. This is the first record of this species in Morocco.

Remarks — The description and measurements of the adult females collected agree with those provided by Hajizadeh et al. (2010) for specimens from Iran. The type specimens were collected from Tamarix spp. L. ( Tamaricaceae ) in Turkmenistan, Kalinin ( Kolodochka 1989), and additional reports from Iran were observed on Tamarix spp. ( Hajizadeh et al. 2010).
