Z4 short not as long as 2/3 between its base and that of seta s4, female ventrianal shield not vase-shaped/divided into separate ventral and anal shield and not wider at the level of anus than at the level of setae ZV2. It belongs to the andersoni species subgroup of this species group having calyx cup-shaped.

This species is distributed worldwide but is mainly reported from Europe. It has been observed on cultivated plants in orchards (apple, peach, pear and citrus) and vineyards, particularly in humid areas (Chant & Hansell 1971; Papadoulis & Emmanouel 1991; Ivancich-Gambaro 1994; Papaioannou-Souliotis et al. 1994; Nicotina 1996; Duso & Pasini 2003; Ragusa 2006). Several studies focused on the biology of A. andersoni and on its ability to feed on plant pests. It is reported to feed on P. ulmi, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) and Aculops lycopersici (Massee) (Koveos & Broufas 2000; Fischer and Mourrut-Salesse 2005; Houten et al. 2005; Lorenzon et al. 2012). This species was already known from Slovenia. With 204 specimens collected in total (see above) in 23 locations, it was one of the most abundant and more widespread species reported in this survey. It has been observed in various locations, probably because of the high relative humidity in these regions.

Amblyseius andersoni was already mentioned from the Slovenian fauna (Miklavc 2006; Bohinc and Trdan 2013; Bohinc et al. 2018).
