Redescriptions of adult female, male and new descriptions of the deutonymph and protonymph stages of Antennoseius oudemansi Thor, 1930, collected from terra tipica (Spitsbergen in the High Arctic) are presented. Due to the absence of type material (holotype and paratypes), and also the lack of a complete description, new material became the basis for the first detailed description of this species, and female and male neotypes are designated.
