TLDR
Four new tribes, 5 new genera, one new subgenus and 13 new species groups are proposed for the family Phytoseiidae Berlese.Abstract:
The family Phytoseiidae Berlese is considered to be comprised of 3 subfamilies: Amblyseiinae Muma, Phytoseiinae Berlese and Typhlodrominae New status. The taxa comprising the subfamilies Phytoseiinae, with 142 known species, and Typhlodrominae, with 452 known species, are reviewed to the level of species groups. There are 3 genera and 5 species groups in the Phytoseiinae and 6 tribes, 20 genera, 8 subgenera and 28 species groups in the Typhlodrominae. Four new tribes, 5 new genera, one new subgenus and 13 new species groups are proposed. The exemplar species of each of the taxa are illustrated.read more

TL;DR: This review categorizes the diversity of life-styles in the Phytoseiidae, based primarily on food habits and related biological and morphological traits, into three types: specialized predators of Tetranychus species, selective predators of tetranychid mites, and specialized pollen feeders/generalist predators.
