They are biologically the most diverse, abundant and succcessful arachnids and have supremacy over insects in adaptability due to high dispersal power, feeding habits, fecundity, small size and various mode of reproduction. These cryptic creatures have universal distribution from inconceivable to conceivable locations i.e., plants, mountains, deserts, glasshouses, fresh water, salt water, springs & stored product of all kinds, organic debris, bodies of animals as an ecto and endoparasites, from free living to parasitic forms, univoltine to multivoltine species, may live in germ of grains and leaf galls. Around 7,000 species of plant feeding mites are known worldwide which occur in five families namely Tetranychidae, Tenuipalpidae, Tarsonemidae, Eriophyidae and Tuckerillidae (Chhillar et al. 2007). They feed and desap plant cells, inject toxins into them, form galls on different plant parts and transmit viral diseases. Severe infestation may results in the reduction of fruit size, lowering plant vigour, defoliation, ultimately total loss of crop and cause heavy economic losses to the farmers and traders. Some species of mites of the families Eriophyidae and Tetranychidae are responsible for transmitting plant viruses and cause viral diseases in cultivated crops, vegetables and fruit plants

In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of profes­ sional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other in­ terested institutions and specialists throughout the world.

Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Al-Baath University, Homs, Syria. (*Corresponding author: Dr. Ziad Barbar. E-Mail: [email protected]). Received: 04/11/2017 Accepted: 14/12/2017 Abstract Most larvae of Erythraeidae are considered as parasites of various insect species, and their adults seem to be effective generalist predators of several agricultural pests. Studies of this fauna is limited in Syria. The present study aimed to identify mite species of Erythraeidae in a pesticide-free citrus orchard in Latakia governorate/Syria. Surveys were carried out three times in 2016 and 2017. Three Erythraeid species were collected, and all belong to the genus Erythraeus: Erythraeus (Erythraeus) phalangoides, Erythraeus (Erythraeus) adanaensis and Erythraeus (Zaracarus) didonae. This is the first report of these species in Syria. Morphological remarks of each species were collected and provided. Keywords: Acari, Erythraeidae, Erythraeus, larva, Syria Introduction Recent advances in knowledge of mite fauna in Syrian agro-ecosystems are took place. Actually, the number of reported species from Syria increased from about 15 species in 2012 to more than 80 species in 2017 (Zriki et al., 2015; Barbar, 2016, 2017; Zeity, 2017; Barbar and Ueckermann, 2017), and more species still to be discovered. The family Erythraeidae presently comprises more than 300 nominal species (Gerson et al., 2009; Krantz and Walter, 2009). Most larvae of these mites are parasites of various arthropods, but adults have been shown to be effective generalist predators of several agricultural pests including insects and spider mites (Zhang, 2003; Gerson et al., 2009).

  • Species Composition and Diversity of Mites Inhabiting Pomegranate Orchards at Assiut, Upper Egypt Abdelgayed*, S
    ACARINES, 13:29-36, 2019 Species Composition and Diversity of Mites Inhabiting Pomegranate Orchards at Assiut, Upper Egypt Abdelgayed*, S. A.; Abd El-Wahed*; N. M., Ali**; A. M. and Eraky**, S. A. * Plant Protec. Res. Institute, Agric. Res. Cent. Dokki, Giza, Egypt, [email protected]. **Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University, Assiut 71526 Egypt. ABSTRACT Mites play an important role in the biological cycle of nature, as well as in the agricultural cycles of plants. They are considered to be very important for most plants, especially fruit orchards, which case both, qualitative and quantitative losses, they also cause different types of allergenic reactions among the fruit handles and farmers. A comprehensive survey of mites inhabiting pomegranate orchards at Assiut and its suburbs was conducted in the work herein. During the current work, colonies of the pomegranate false spider mite, Tenuipalpus punicae Pritchard & Baker and the mango spider mite, Oligonychus mangiferus (Rahman & Sapra) were recorded on pomegranate trees at Assiut governorate. The relative abundance of both mite species and their natural enemies was conducted. Based on previous studies, about 24 mite species in nine families were recorded in Egypt. In order to determine species composition of phytophagous and predacious mites on pomegranate trees, samples were taken from leaves, buds and fruits during 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 seasons. The citrus brown mite, Eutetranychus orientalis (Klein); T. punicae and the broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) seemed to be the most common phytophagous mites on pomegranate trees. On the other side, several predatory mite species were also recorded in the present work.

  • Acari: Prostigmata: Parasitengona) V
    Acarina 16 (1): 3–19 © ACARINA 2008 CALYPTOSTASY: ITS ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND LIFE HISTORIES OF THE PARASITENGONE MITES (ACARI: PROSTIGMATA: PARASITENGONA) V. N. Belozerov St. Petersburg State University, Biological Research Institute, Stary Peterhof, 198504, RUSSIA, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The paper presents a review of available data on some aspects of calyptostasy, i.e. the alternation of active (normal) and calyptostasic (regressive) stages that is characteristic of the life cycles in the parasitengone mites. There are two different, non- synonymous approaches to ontogenetic and ecological peculiarities of calyptostasy in the evaluation of this phenomenon and its significance for the development and life histories of Parasitengona. The majority of acarologists suggests the analogy between the alternating calyptostasy in Acari and the metamorphic development in holometabolous insects, and considers the calyptostase as a pupa-like stage. This is controversial with the opposite view emphasizing the differences between calyptostases and pupae in regard to peculiarities of moulting events at these stages. However both approaches imply the similar, all-level organismal reorganization at them. The same twofold approach concerns the ecological importance of calyptostasy, i.e. its organizing role in the parasitengone life cycles. The main (parasitological) approach is based on an affirmation of optimizing role of calyptostasy through acceleration of development for synchronization of hatching periods in the parasitic parasitengone larvae and their hosts, while the opposite (ecophysiological) approach considers the calyptostasy as an adaptation to climate seasonality itself through retaining the ability for developmental arrests at special calyptostasic stages evoked from normal active stages as a result of the life cycle oligomerization.

The literature cited here now goes back to 2004. The databank of literature on Actinedida is becoming increasingly complete, presently comprising 4,939 papers on 1,455 species. This represents an increase by almost 10% (papers) and over 15% (species) this year alone. Since the literature of the Actinedida is vast, we have excluded as in past volumes two major taxa from the database: Eriophyidae and the paraphyletic group “Hydracarina”, since these are available elsewhere.
