Tenuipalpidae and Tetranychidae (Trombidiformes, Tetranychoidea) from Syria with a description of a new species of Bryobia

Surveys of Tenuipalpidae and Tetranychidae were conducted at three locations in Latakia governorate, Syria, in 2021. Eight species were collected; four flat mite species of which Aegyptobia beglarovi, Cenopalpus lineola, and Pentamerismus juniperi were new records for Syria; and four spider mite species among which Petrobia (Mesotetranychus) tunisiae represented a new record. A new tetranychid species, Bryobia (Lyobia) hadizeni sp. nov., collected from Calicotome villosa, is described and illustrated. The number of Tenuipalpidae species known from Syria increases to 16 and there are now 25 species of Tetranychidae.

New records of the genus Bryobia (Acari: Tetranychidae) from Syria with description of a new species

Three species of Tetranychidae belonging to the genus Bryobia were collected from Latakia governorate, Syria in 2019: Bryobia (Allobia) syriensis n. sp. collected from Salvia verbenaca L., is described; Bryobia (Allobia) nikitensis and Bryobia (Bryobia) gigas collected from S. verbenaca and from soil litter, respectively, are reported. New observations of Bryobia specimens previously reported from the same governorate during 2014-2016 revealed that specimens of Bryobia (Bryobia) watersi were misidentified as Bryobia (Bryobia) graminum and Bryobia (Bryobia) kissophila. Among them, we found two aberrant females bearing three propodosomal lobes. By analogy, we discussed the cases of the trilobed species, Bryobia bakeri and Bryobia aegyptiacus, and concluded that they could be teratological forms of quadrilobed Bryobia species rather than species with a particular pattern of propodosomal lobes.

New species, new records and re-description of spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) from India.

Two species of Tetranychidae (Acari), Oligonychus neotylus sp. nov. from Zea mays and Pennisetum purpureum (Poaceae) and Tetranychus hirsutus sp. nov. from Gymnema sylvestre R. Br. (Apocynaceae) are described from Karnataka state, south India. Tetranychus bambusae Wang and Ma is recorded for the first time from India and re-described. Four other species are reported for the first time from India viz., Oligonychus coniferarum (McGregor), Oligonychus duncombei Meyer, Tetranychus marianae McGregor and Tetranychus okinawanus Ehara from Cupressus sp., an undetermined grass, Centrosema pubescens and Adenium obesum, respectively.

Although different groupings were made for the mites sociability earlier, the existence of primitive subsocial, subsocial and communal life in mites are accepted today. Previous researches have shown that the sociability has mostly been studied in the species of Tetranychidae. However, the sociality and socially close behaviors have been identified in some parasite and predator species as well as tetranychid. The review has proposed to present information about sociality in mites.

Three new species of Tetranychidae (Acari, Prostigmata) from the French Alps (South-Eastern France)

Collection efforts in the framework of the European All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory conducted in the Mercantour national Park located in the Alps mountain range of southern France disclosed three new species of Tetranychid mites. The species described in the current paper are: Bryobia cinereae n. sp., Bryobia mercantourensis n. sp. and Eotetranychus quercicola n. sp.. Both Bryobia species were collected on Genista cinerea and E. quercicola on Quercus pubescens. A new combination is also proposed for Bryobia longisetis, previously placed in Pseudobryobia by Wainstein (1960).

Phytophagous and predatory mites in slovenia

A chronology and review of previous publications on the occurrence and description of plant-inhabiting mites in Slovenia is presented. The list of mites recorded in Slovenia includes six species of Tetranychidae, which were first recorded by Janezic in 1951 and 1975. Thirty-eight mites of the superfamily Eriophyoidea were first reported by Janezic in 1989; seven additional species from the same superfamily were first reported by Vrabl in 1999, and one species was reported by Celar and Valic (2003). One species belonging to the Tarsonemidae family and one belonging to the family Tetranychidae were reported by Vrabl (1999). Four species of predatory Phytoseiidae mites were reported by Tojnko et al. in 1998, and 15 species of predatory mites were reported in 2006 by Miklavc - 11 of them for the first time. Calepitrimerus vitis, Colomerus vitis, Panonychus ulmi and Tetranychus urticae are among the most important agricultural pests. The most important predatory mites in Slovenia include Typhlodromus pyri, Neoseiulus cucumeris, and Amblyseius andersoni.

Mites (Acari) associated with bamboo (Bambusa sp., Poaceae) in a woody area from northwestern São Paulo State, Brazil

This paper reports twelve acarine species belonging to eleven genera in five families, associated with Bambusa sp. (Poaceae), in a woody area from São Paulo State, Brazil. Four species of Tetranychidae (Monoceronychus bambusicola, sp.n.. Oligonychus santoantoniensis, sp.n.. Schizotetranychus longirostris, sp.n. and S. paraelymus, sp.n.) are regarded as new. The genus Cheletomimus Oudemans, 1904 (Cheyletidae) is recorded for the first time to South America.

A SURVEY OF PREDATORY MITES IN ONTARIO APPLE ORCHARDS WITH DIVERSE PESTICIDE PROGRAMS

AbstractLeaves were collected between 28 July and 10 September from 36 (1986) and 85 (1987) apple orchards, and examined for mites. Twelve species of Phytoseiidae were found: Amblyseius fallacis (Garman), Typhlodromus longipilus Nesbitt, A. andersoni (Chant), T. caudiglans Schuster, T. pyri Scheuten, T. pomi (Parrott), Phytoseius macropilis (Banks), T. herbertae Chant, A. driggeri Specht, A. finlandicus (Oudemans), T. conspicuus (Garman), and A. pusillus (Kennett), in order of frequency. The stigmaeid mites Zetzellia mali (Ewing) and Agistemus fleschneri Summers, a complex of erythraeid mites of Balaustium spp. and Hauptmannia spp., and tydeid mites, primarily Tydeus spp., were other common predatory species. Species of Tetranychidae, Bdellidae, Eriophyidae, Winterschmidtiidae, and Tarsonemidae, also were collected.Predatory mites were present each season in all abandoned orchards and in 43–74% of the commercial orchards. Their abundance in commercial orchards was compared with the use of insecticides applied only for control of the spotted tentiform leafminer, Phyllonorycter blancardella (Fabr.). Fewer (P < 0.05) phytoseiids occurred where pyrethroids were employed than in sites without pyrethroids, but differences were not found for similar use of the carbamoyl oxime, methomyl. Fewer (P < 0.05) stigmaeids occurred in sites treated with methomyl than in sites without methomyl, whereas such differences were not found for pyrethroid use.

A new species ofTetranychus(Acarina: Tetranychidae) intercepted at Quarantine from cacao

Abstract Description of an undescribed species of Tetranychidae, Tetranychus (Tetranychus) nakahari , is given for specimens found attacking Theobroma cacao L. at Washington, D.C. Quarantine.

Typhlodromus and Amblyseius (Acarina: Phytoseiidae) as Predators on Orchard Mites

Laboratory studies to determine host-mite preferences were conducted on the predaceous mites Typhlodromus longipilus Nesbitt, T. occidentalis Nesbitt, T. rhenanus (Oudemans), Amblyseius cucumeris (Oudemans), and A. fallacis (Garman), all of which were found commonly in the vicinity of Yakima, Washington. Though mites of other genera could be utilized to some extent, various species of Tetranychidae (especially Tetranychus medanieli McGregor) proved the most suitable hosts for Typhlodromus longipilus and for both species of Amblyseius. A. cucumeris was the only one of these predators that could develop satisfactorily on the European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch), and on the tree form of the clover mite, Bryobia rubrioculus (Scheuten). A. cucumeris was not tested with the apple rust mite, Aculus schlectendali (Nalepa), but this proved an excellent and readily accepted host for the other 4 predators. Indeed, T. rhenanus could not be reared on any host other than A. schlectendali, and T. occidentalis showed strong symptoms of inadequte diet in its absence, though able at least to maintain itself on other hosts. Other rust mites were not available for trial.

Notes on the Biology of some predacious Mites on Fruit Trees in south-eastern England

A number of predacious mites of the PHYTOSEIINAE (family LAELAPTIDAE), found in south-eastern England, mostly in association with fruit trees, are listed. Certain measurements and other characters that are of value in separating species are given. The species found were: Typhlodromus tiliae Oudm., T. cucumeris Oudm., T. tiliarum Oudm., T. rhenanus (Oudm.), T. finlandicus (Oudm.), T. umbraticus Chant, T. massei Nesbitt, T. vitis Oudm., T. soleiger (Ribaga), Phytoseius macropilis (Banks) and two Amblyseius spp. Of these, T. tiliae, T. finlandicus and P. macropilis are normally abundant on apple trees, but only T. tiliae remains abundant on commercially-grown apple trees. For each species a list of plants on which it has been found is given.Details of the life-history of laboratory-reared mites are given and these, together with counts of field populations, show that three generations a year is normal.Predacious phytoseiine mites feed on several species of TETRANYCHIDAE, including Metatetranychus ulmi (Koch) and Tetranychus telarius (L.); when M. ulmi is supplied in adequate numbers, adults of T. tiliae consume 3 mites per day, the nymphs 2 mites per day, on an average. It is thought that they also feed on plant tissue, since individuals survived in the laboratory for a considerable length of time in the absence of phytophagous mites, though eggs were not laid.
