Remarks — Antennoseius ningxiaensis was originally described by Bai & Ma (2006) based on one female from Ant Myrmos sp. nest in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China,

but the subgeneric status of the species was not clear. Here, we examined the holotype of the species and observed the absence of pretarsus and claws on leg I and tibia III with eight setae. Therefore, we consider it a species belong to the subgenus Antennoseius .
