Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias­Henriot, 1957

Distribution. Unknown (Zambia Department of Agriculture 1977 [not seen], reported in Mau & Lee 1994).

Remarks. This species was described from specimens collected in Algeria, but has been introduced into many countries for use in pest management programmes. May have controlled the tomato russet mite Aculops lycopersici (Massee) ( Prostigmata: Eriophyidae) in Zambia (reported in Mau & Lee 1994).
