D83D87B5776F1243FCB1F61AFB2AFE78.taxon	discussion	Comments: As only males were collected, identification could not be accurately made to species level but the specimens might be Amblyseius andersoni (Chant, 1957) which is very common in the study area. Amblyseius andersoni has been recorded from more than 30 countries, including France, Greece, Italy, Syria and the USA (Tixier et al., 1998; Kabíček, 2010; Demite et al., 2014). In Turkey, it has been reported from different plants, including apple, persimmon and hazelnut, in different regions (Çobanoğlu, 1993, 2008; Ozman and Cobanoğlu, 2001; Akyazı and Ecevit, 2003; Bayram and Çobanoğlu, 2007; Ozsisli and Çobanoğlu, 2011; Yesilayer and Çobanoğlu, 2011; Kasap et al., 2013; Satar et al., 2013; Kumral and Çobanoğlu, 2015; Çobanoğlu and Kumral, 2016; Akyazı et al., 2017; Çobanoğlu and Güldali, 2017; Soysal and Akyazı, 2018). As prey, this species prefers spider mites to eriophyoid mites (Dicke et al., 1988).	en	Çakir, Şeyma, Tixier, Marie-Stephane, Ozman-Sullivan, Sebahat K.

D83D87B5776C1240FF83F5A1FBB7FB4A.taxon	discussion	Comments: Euseius finlandicus is a common species on decidious trees (McMurtry and Croft, 1997). It has been reported from New Zealand, Hungary, Serbia, Italy, France, Japan and the USA (Collyer, 1980; Ripka et al., 2013; Demite et al., 2014). It has been collected from almost every region in Turkey and on different plants, including apple, citrus, grape, hazelnut, pear and walnut (Swirski and Amitai, 1982; Düzgüneş and KılıÇ, 1983; Şekeroğlu, 1984; Ozman and Cobanoğlu, 2001; Çobanoğlu, 2004; İncekulak and Ecevit, 2002; Yanar and Ecevit, 2005; Kasap et al., 2008, 2009; Denizhan and Çobanoğlu, 2009; Ozsisli and Çobanoğlu, 2011; Yeşilayer and Çobanoğlu, 2011; Satar et al., 2013; Kumral and Çobanoğlu, 2015; Akyazı et al., 2016, 2017; Çobanoğlu and Güldali, 2017; Soysal and Akyazı, 2018). This species is included in the type IV classification of McMutry and Croft (1997), which means that it is a specialized pollen feeder / generalist predator (McMurtry, 1983; McMurtry and Croft, 1997). It can feed on tetranychid, eriophyid, tyroglyphid and tarsonemid mites, pollen, fungal spores and hyphae, the eggs and larvae of insects, honeydew and plant liquids (Schausberger, 1992; Kostiainen and Hoy, 1994; Abdallah et al., 2001).	en	Çakir, Şeyma, Tixier, Marie-Stephane, Ozman-Sullivan, Sebahat K.

D83D87B5776C1240FCB1F716FC2AFE1B.taxon	discussion	Comments: Euseius gallicus was first found and identified in France from the leaves of large-leaved summer linden (Tilia platyphyllos Scopoli), sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.), horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.), laurustinus (Viburnum tinus L.) and grape (Vitis vinifera L.) in 2009 (Tixier et al., 2009). Later, it was found on Tilia cordata (Miller) in Belgium, Lycium barbarum L. in Germany, Rosa sp. cv. Red Naomi in Holland and Ipomea sp. in Trabzon, Turkey (Döker et al., 2014 b), and on Capsicum annuum L., Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Cucumis sativus L. in Ordu, Turkey (Soysal and Akyazı, 2018). This study reports this species for the first time on walnut trees in Turkey. Euseius species are pollen feeding, type IV generalist predators (McMurtry and Croft, 1997). Euseius gallicus has shown potential as a biocontrol agent for western flower thrips and whiteflies on roses when Typha sp. (cattail) pollen is supplied as an additional food source (Wackers, 2013). It has been commercially produced since 2014 (Anonymous, 2019 b).	en	Çakir, Şeyma, Tixier, Marie-Stephane, Ozman-Sullivan, Sebahat K.

It has been reported from apple, citrus and vegetable orchards in Turkey (McMurtry, 1977; Çobanoğlu, 1989; Satar et al., 2013; Çobanoğlu and Güldali, 2017). This type IV pollen feeding generalist predator can feed on tetranychid mites (McMurtry, 1977; McMurtry and Croft, 1997), especially on Panonyhus citri McGregor in citrus orchards (Ferragut et al., 1992). It was introduced to Peru to control P. citri and it is now produced commercially for the control of that pest (Aguirre-Gil et al., 2013).	en	Çakir, Şeyma, Tixier, Marie-Stephane, Ozman-Sullivan, Sebahat K.

It was later recorded on various plants, namely hazelnut, walnut, apple, pear, loquat and rose, in different parts of Turkey (Ozman-Sullivan, 2006; Kasap et al., 2008, 2009; Faraji et al., 2011; Ozsisli and Çobanoğlu, 2011; Yesilayer and Çobanoğlu, 2011; Satar et al., 2013). Kampimodromus aberrans is categorized as a generalist predator (Type III). This mite feeds readily on pollen and extracts liquid from leaves (McMurtry and Croft, 1997). It also feeds on tetranychid mites (Tixier et al., 1998; Kasap, 2005, 2019; Lorenzon et al., 2012; Duso et al., 2014; Akyazı et al., 2017; Soysal and Akyazı, 2018) and eriophyoid mites (Duso and de Lillo, 1996); it was observed feeding on Phytoptus avellanae Nalepa in hazelnut orchards in Samsun Province, Turkey (Ozman-Sullivan, 2006).	en	Çakir, Şeyma, Tixier, Marie-Stephane, Ozman-Sullivan, Sebahat K.

D83D87B5776A1246FF83F367FE6DF150.taxon	discussion	Comments: Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) rapidus was first found on apple and oak trees in Russia (Wainstein and Arutunjan, 1968). Later it was reported from Betula spp. and Quercus spp. in Latvia (Salmane and Petrova, 2002). It was first collected in Turkey by Çobanoğlu (1997) on Coryllus sp. in İzmit. In the current study, it was found on walnut trees in Turkey for the first time. The Typhlodromus species are included in the type III classification of McMutry and Croft (1997).	en	Çakir, Şeyma, Tixier, Marie-Stephane, Ozman-Sullivan, Sebahat K.
