This species belongs to the same species group and the same species subgroup A as. andersoni .

Amblyseius rademacheri was found together with T. urticae on S. melongena in Turkey ( Soysal and Akyazi 2018). In previous studies, it was found on various fruits, weeds, forest trees in association with tetranychid and eriophyid mites ( Hajizadeh 2007). Tixier et al. (2013) also reported A. rademacheri on Vitis vinifera . Komi et al. (2008) found this species on pepper and eggplant in Japan. However, despite these records on cultivated plants, the biology of that species is unknown.

Amblyseius rademacheri was already mentioned from the Slovenian fauna ( Miklavc 2006; Bohinc and Trdan 2013).
