KHANJANI1 & E. A. UECKERMANN2 1Department of Plant Protection, College of Agriculture, Bu Ali Sina University, Hamadan, Iran, e-mail: [email protected]. 2ARC- Plant Protection Research Institute, Private Bag X134, Pretoria, 0001 South Africa, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Four new Iranian species namely Tydeus kabutarahangensis n. sp., T.caryae n. sp., Lorryia navidi n. sp. and L. vianensis n. sp. are described and illustrated. Tydeus momeni nom. nov. is proposed for Orthotydeus longisetosus El-Bagoury & Momen, 1988, a junior homonym of Tydeus longisetosus Kuznetzov & Zapletina, 1972. Key words: Tydeidae Lorryia, Tydeus, Acari, new species, Iran Introduction Tydeids are known from all major continents, including the Arctic (Thor, 1933) and Ant- arctic (Strandtmann, 1967). They are commonly found in moss, litter, soil, fungi, bird's nests, on plants and in stored products (Marshall, 1970; Knop & Hoy, 1983; Hessein & Perring, 1983; Momen, 1986; Momen, 1990; Momen & Sinha, 1991; Momen & Lun- dqvist, 1995). Tydeidae are fast-moving, small, soft-bodied mites. Dorsally the idiosoma can be striated or partly or completely reticulated. Ventrally it is usually striated. They range from white, yellow, green, and orange to black. Homeopronematus anconai (Baker) feeds on various stages of tomato russet mite, Aculops lycopersici (Massee) (Hessein & Perring, 1986). Homeopronematus staercki (Schruft) and Orthotydeus goetzi (Schruft) feed on Colomerus vitis (Pagenstecher) and Calepitrimerus vitis (Nalepa) on grape in Germany (Schruft, 1972). Tydeus caryae n. sp. feeds on Eriophyes tristriatus (Nalepa), the walnut leaf gall mite in Iran. Lorryia formosa Cooreman is known to feed on scale-produced hon- eydew in citrus groves, acting as a sanitizing agent (Mendel & Gerson, 1982). Tydeids were even reported to feed on nematodes (Santos et al., 1981) and other invertebrates. Accepted: 7 April 2003; published: 16 April 2003 1.

Viticulture is characterized by relatively high pesticide inputs, which could decrease arthropod populations and biological pest control in vineyards. This problem could be counteracted with management practices such as the implementation of diverse vegetation cover in the vineyard inter-rows, reduced pesticide input in integrated or organic vineyards, and a di- verse landscape with trees and hedges. We examined the influence of these factors on predatory Citation: Möth, S.; Walzer, A.; Redl, mites, which play a crucial role as natural enemies for pest mites on vines, and pollen as impor- M.; Petrović,B.; Hoffmann, C.; Winter, tant alternative food source for predatory mites in 32 organic and integrated Austrian vineyards.

Grapevine is vulnerable to a range of pests, one of these being mites. Plant-parasitic mites are extremely damaging pests with a rapid generation time, high fecundity and a tendency to over-exploit their hosts. Disconcertingly, the diversity of mites in vineyards in South Africa is virtually unknown. Surveys have been done with predatory mites and phytophagous mites being recorded, but no recent studies focussing on their ecology, pest status and seasonal cycles have been collected. The aim of this study was to survey phytophagous and predatory mite diversity and to investigate pest status of the plant feeding mites of South African grapevine, including the recently introduced, invasive Brevipalpus lewisi.

Recognizing these mites and understanding their function in the ecosystem as well as when they are active is essential to understand their roles. The present work studied the abundance and diversity of mites associated with date palm, olive and citrus trees in Sakaka, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during winter and spring seasons (December 2013 to May 2014).The recorded species associated with date palm, olive and citrus trees are classified according to the type of nutrition into three trophic groups: phytophagous, predaceous and miscellaneous mites.

Located at a high latitude and geographically isolated, the archipelago possesses widely varying environmental conditions and unique flora and fauna communities. It is also here where particularly rapid environmental changes are occurring, having amongst the fastest increases in mean air temperature in the Arctic. One of the most common and species-rich invertebrate groups in Svalbard is the mites (Acari). We here describe the characteristics of the Svalbard acarofauna, and, as a baseline, an updated inventory of 178 species (one Ixodida, 36 Mesostigmata, 43 Trombidiformes, and 98 Sarcoptiformes) along with their occurrences.

MITES FLUCTUATION POPULATION on PEACH TREE (Prunus Persica (L.) Batsch) and in ASSOCIATED PLANTS 1
765 MITES FLUCTUATION POPULATION ON PEACH TREE (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) AND IN ASSOCIATED PLANTS 1 CARLA ROSANA EICHELBERGER2, LIANA JOHANN3, FERNANDA MAJOLO3, NOELI JUAREZ FERLA3 ABSTRACT - Despite the importance of peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) in Rio Grande do Sul, little is known about mites fluctuation population considered important to this crop. The objective of this study was to know the population diversity and fluctuation of mite species associated with Premier and Eldorado varieties in Roca Sales and Venâncio Aires counties, Rio Grande do Sul. The study was conducted from July 2008 to June 2009 when 15 plants were randomly chosen in each area. The plants were divided in quadrants and from each one a branch was chosen from which three leaves were removed: one collected in the apical region, another in the medium and the other in the basal region, totalizing 180 leaves/area. Five of the most abundant associated plants were collected monthly in enough amounts for the screening under the stereoscopic microscope during an hour. A total of 1,124 mites were found belonging to 14 families and 28 species. Tetranychus ludeni Zacher, 1913, Panonychus ulmi (Koch, 1836) and Mononychellus planki (McGregor, 1950) were the most abundant phytophagous mites, whereas Typhlodromalus aripo Deleon, 1967 and Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks, 1904) the most common predatory mites. The period of one hour under stereoscopic microscope was enough to get a representative sample. In both places evaluated the ecologic indices were low, but little higherin Premier (H’ 0.56; EqJ: 0.43) when compared to Eldorado (H’ 0.53; EqJ 0.40).
