Abstract
We report the occurrence of Pyemotes tritici (LaGreze-Fossat and Montagne) (Acari: Pyemotidae) parasitizing the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in shed squares of cotton grown in a greenhouse. Parasitized larvae, pupae and adults of the cotton boll weevil had abdominal sternites and/or tergites covered by whitish spherical physogastric females of P. tritici. This is the first record of the cotton boll weevil parasitized by this mite species.
