Little has been published about the phytoseiid mite fauna of Thailand. This paper presents information about themorphology and distribution of phytoseiid mites collected in Thailand between 1991 and 2011 on different plant species,a list of the species presently known from that country, and a key for their identification. Twenty six species belonging to11 genera were collected and identified in this study, six of which are reported for the first time from Thailand. In total,38 species of phytoseiid species of 13 genera are reported, 29 of Amblyseiinae, seven of Phytoseiinae and two of Typhlodrominae.

The eriophyoid mites are tiny but ancient and very diverse-over 5000 species have been named and described so far (Chetverikov et al. 2015;Bolton et al. 2017;Xue et al. 2017). They have received tremendous attention from acarologists over the last two decades or so. Major books-such as world catalogue (Amrine & Stasny 1994), key to genera (Amrine et al. 2003) and volumes of comprehensive review articles on its taxonomy, biology and control (Lindquist et al. 1996;Ueckermann 2010)-have facilitated the discovery and study of these mites in recent years. Surveys of new mite species described during 2007 to 2015 revealed that more new species of this superfamily have been described than any other mite superfamily (
