Abstract
Thepresent study was conducted during four years (2013-2016) to throw some lighton the acarofauna of the different fauna in different regions coveredEl-Dakahlia Governorate. This study revealed the occurrence of 36 differentmite species belonging to 23 genera and 14 families under four suborders asfollows:Suborder Astigmata(Acaridida) which represented by 16different species belong to 11 genera and 5 families. Also, SuborderProstigmata (Actinedida) represented in this study by 7 mite species belongingto 4 genera in 4 families. On the other hand, the Suborder Mesostigmata(Gamasida) was represented by 10 mite species belonging to 5 genera in 3families. The suborder Cryptostigmata (Oribatida) in this study includedthreemite species belong to two families. The stored product materials were the mostsource of mite abundance (33 different species) and the commonest mites were T.putrescentiae, Tarsonemus granaries and P. pygmaeus. On theother hand, the plant leaves were infested with 3 mites species and the mostabundant mites were Orthotydeus californicus and T. putrescentiae,but the different tested soil harbored 4 mites, and O. sticta was theonly dominant collected mite. The regions can be

Collection of fungivorous mites from stored products: Samples were collected from different localities from the tested materials of about 500 gm as placed in plastic bags marked by labels denoting date of collection, place, and habitat
Summary
Up-to-date dramatically increase in the population in the world requires an efficient modern human food and animal production industry and the manufacture of good quality feeds and food. According to the available literature numerous surveys of the plant leaves, stored products and soil fungivorous mites associated with different materials have been undertaken in various parts of the world, but only limited studies were carried out in Egypt. The present study was conducted to detect the fungivorous mites of some stored materials, plant leaves and soil of some field crops in different regions of ElDakahlia Governorate, Egypt during the period 2013-2016.
