Abstract The expansion of red palm mite (RPM), Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) in Brazil could impact negatively the native plant species, especially of the family Arecaceae. To determine which species could be at risk, we investigated the development and reproductive potential of R. indica on 19 plant species including 13 native species to the Brazilian Amazon (12 Arecaceae and one Heliconiaceae), and six exotic species, four Arecaceae, a Musaceae and a Zingiberaceae.

The tenuipalpids have stylet-like on the mainland. mouthparts (a stylophore) similar to that of spider mites (Tetranychidae). The mouthparts are long, U-shaped, with Distribution whiplike chelicerae that are used for piercing plant tissues.

[email protected] ABSTRACT — Specimen vouchering is a critical aspect of systematics, especially in genetic studies where the identity of a DNA sample needs to be assured. It can be difficult to obtain a high quality voucher after DNA extraction when dealing with tiny and delicate invertebrates that often do not survive the extraction procedure intact. Likewise, once a whole specimen has been extracted from, it is no longer useful for scanning electron microscopic examination. This paper discusses the use of a single specimen for both low temperature scanning electron microscopy and DNA extraction. This process allows full documentation of all external characteristics of an organism and ample whole genomic DNA extraction for DNA sequencing.

    BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF Raoiella indica (ACARI: TENUIPALPIDAE) IN THE CARIBBEAN: POTENTIAL AND CHALLENGES Y. C. Colmenarez 1 , B. Taylor 2 , S.T. Murphy 2 & D. Moore 2 1 CABI South America, FCA/ UNESP , Botucatu , Brazil; 2 CABI Inglaterra, Bakeham Lane, Egham, Surrey, UK. The Red Palm Mite (RPM), Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) , is a polyphagous pest that attacks different crops and ornamental plants. It was reported in the Caribbean region in 2004 and is currently a widely distributed pest on most of the Carib bean islands. It was also observed in Venezuela, Florida, and Mexico and more recently in Brazil and Colombia. Within the pest management strategies, biological control is considered a sustainable control method, with the potential to regulate R. indica po pulations on a large scale. Evaluations were carried out in Trinidad and Tobago, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis , and Dominica, in order to evaluate the population dynamics of R. indica and the natural enemies present in each country. In the Nar iva Swamp and surrounding areas in Trinidad, Amblyseius largoensis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) was the most frequent predator on coconut trees. Other predators reported were two phytoseiid species : Amblyseius anacardii and Leonseius sp . (Acari: Phytoseiidae), an d a species of Cecidomyiidae (larvae) (Insecta: Diptera) , which were reported as being associated with RPM populations on the Moriche palm and in several cases were observed feeding on RPM. Of these predators, densities of the phytoseiid Leonseius sp. were most abundant and positively related to the densities of the red palm mite. Different pathogens isolated from the red palm - mite colonies were evaluated.

Recently, Amblyseius largoensis from Thailand were introduced in Brazil to evaluate their efciency for the control of the red palm mite, Raoiella indica. The aim of this study was to confrm their identifcation and to characterize the population from Thailand, compar- ing it to populations of the Americas and Indian Ocean islands. In addition, a population of A. largoensis from New Caledonia, Oceania, of which DNA sequences were available, was included in phylogenetic analyses. Morphometric data obtained for the population of A. largoensis from Thailand were compared to those of populations from Reunion Island and the Americas through univariate and multivariate analyses. Two DNA fragments were amplifed and sequenced: the nuclear ribosomal region ITSS and the mitochondrial 12S rRNA. Haplotypes (12S rRNA) and genotypes (ITSS) were identifed and phylogenetic analyses using both fragments were conducted separately and combined using maximum likelihood and the Bayesian information criterion. The integrative approach reveals mor- phometric and molecular variabilities among populations of A. largoensis and shows that the population identifed as A.

In 2004, the mite invaded the New World resulting in high population densities and apparent new host associations- including Musa spp. (bananas and plantains). Subsequently, RPM has become widely established in the tropical Americas.
