 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).
