Abstract

Three new species, two in the genus Amblyseius Berlese and one in the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten, collected in Canada are described. Three additional Amblyseius species and one Typhlodromus species are recorded for the first time in Canada. The previously unknown males of 9 species are described. These new records bring the total numbers of species in the genera Amblyseius and Typhlodromus in Canada to 53 and 22 respectively.
