Phytoseius finitimus Ribaga, 1904: 178.

Phytoseius (Dubininellus) finitimus Wainstein, 1959: 1365.

Phytoseius (Pennaseius) finitimus Pritchard and Baker, 1962: 223.

Pennaseius finitimus Schuster and Pritchard, 1963: 279.

Phytoseius (Phytoseius) finitimus Denmark, 1966: 16.

Phytoseius finitimus Chant, 1959: 108; Moraes et al., 2004: 252; Chant and McMurtry, 2007: 129.

Material examined — Karkennah: Sidi Yousef (34°39’30.27"N, 10°59’42.70"E), April 2011, 8 ♀♀; Aouled Yaneg (34°40’22.19"N, 11°08’15.07"E), March 2010, 5 ♀♀; Sidi Bouzid: Regueb (34°50’26.08"N, 9°47’49.20"E), May 2009, 4 ♀♀ and 1 ♂.

Distribution — Algeria, Egypt, France, Greece, Iran, Israel, Italy, Montenegro, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and USA (Demite et al. 2016).

Note — Some confusion between Phytoseius finitimus and P. plumifer existed in literature (Duso and Fontana 2002). This species is reported in Mediterranean basin and has been observed in vineyards (Minarro and Kreiter 2012). Phytoseius finitimus is a natural enemy of Panonychus ulmi (Koch) (Duso and Moretto 1994), and eriophyid mites: Aceria ficus (Rasmy and El-Banhawy 1974), it can also feed on pollen (Rasmy and El-Banhawy 1975).
