1 ♀ (Gülyalı, N40°56′54.57″ E38° 2′6.78″, 380 m, 18. IX.2019), 1 ♀ (Gülyalı, N40°57′7.30″ E38°2′33.06″, 369 m, 18. IX.2019), 1 ♀ (Ünye, N41°6′18.31″ E37°19′39.58″, 9 m, 18. VII.2018)

Remarks — Euseius gallicus was first reported on Tilia platphyllos Scopoli ( Tiliaceae ), P. cerasus , Aesculus hippocastanum L. ( Sapindaceae ), and Viburnum tinus L. ( Adoxaceae )

in France by Tixier et al. (2009). It was also collected in Belgium ( Döker et al. 2014b), Germany ( Döker et al. 2014b), Italy ( Tsolakis and Ragusa 2017), Slovenia ( Chatti et al. 2017), Netherlands ( Siepel et al. 2018), France ( Tixier et al. 2020), Mauritius ( Kreiter and Abo-Shnaf 2020) and Türkiye ( Döker et al. 2014b ; Soysal and Akyazı 2018 ; Çakır et al. 2020 ; Akyazı et al. 2022b). In Türkiye, the species was recorded on Ipomoea sp. ( Convolvulaceae ) in Trabzon ( Döker et al. 2014b), vegetables ( Soysal and Akyazı 2018), and P. laurocerasus ( Akyazı et al.

2022b) in Ordu as well as walnut leaves in Samsun ( Çakır et al. 2020). This mite is a Type IV generalist predator that feeds on pollen (Kreiter et al. 2020). However, a recent study, Döker et al. (2024), noted that E. gallicus is a junior synonym of E. amissibilis
