A complementary description of Amblyseius bidens Karg (Acari: Phytoseiidae), along with a discussion on the possible synonymy between this species and A. myrtilli Papadoulis, Emmanouel and Kapaxidi, a species previously described from Greece, and subsequently reported from Russia, is provided. In addition, Neoseiulus roumelioticus Papadoulis, Emmanouel and Kapaxidi and N. tauricus (Livshitz and Kuznetsov) are reported for the first time from Slovakia. Measurements and important diagnostic characters of the new records are provided to further improve diagnosis and avoid any confusion regarding the species status of the Slovak specimens.
