Neoseiulus umbraticus, Moraes et al. 1986: 99 View in CoL ; 2004: 149; Chant & McMurtry 2003a: 23; 2007: 31.

Just like the previous species and for same reasons, this species belongs to the cucumeris species group of the genus Neoseiulus and to the cucumeris species subgroup ( Chant and McMurtry 2003a).

Very few studies exist on its biology. Knisley and Swift (1971) and Kazak et al. (2002) showed its ability to develop feeding on T. urticae . Sengonca & Dresher (2001) studied the ability of this species to develop feeding on Thrips tabaci Lindeman and concluded that this food alters its biological parameters in comparison to T. urticae . N. umbraticus seems able to develop and reproduce also on Panonychus ulmi (Koch) , Calvolia lordi (Nesbitt) , Aculus schlechtendali (Nalepa) , adults of Quadraspidiotus perniciosus (Comstock) , and on apple and cherry pollens. Adults of Agistemus fleschneri Summers and winter eggs of P. ulmi were not fed upon.

This is the first report of that species from Slovenia.

( Betulaceae ), 18/ VI /2019; Kranj (aasl 434 m, 46°16’6”N, 14°20’26”E), 12 ♀♀, 7 ♂♂ and 4 immatures on Rubus fruticosus L. ( Rosaceae ), 21/VI/2019; Ljubljana, Hotel Katrca (aasl 307 m, 46°3’19”N, 14°20’26”E), 1 ♀ GoogleMaps on Tilia platyphyllos Scopoli (Malvaceae) , 22/VI/2019.
