| Summary: | To resolve the controversy of its synonymy, 7 paratype females and 2 paratype males of Paraphytoseius santurcensis, borrowed from Florida State Collection of Arthropods, Gainesville, FL, USA, were studied after 50 years from its original publication. Numerous voucher photos of these were taken and studied along with specimens of Paraphytoseius orientalis. No significant differences were observed between P. santurcensis and P. orientalis. Therefore, the former is considered to be a junior synonym of the latter, confirming the synonymy established by Matthysse and Denmark in 1981.
