DE MORAES e20200729 Abstract: The aim of the present study was to conduct a survey of mites of the family Phytoseiidae associated with plants of the natural vegetation and cultivated forests in 93 sites of three biomes (Amazon Forest, Cerrado and Pantanal) in the Mato Grosso State. (Suppl. 3) Twenty-one species of 11 genera, of the three phytoseiid subfamilies were registered. 93(Suppl. 3) Amblyseius Berlese was the most diverse genus, with fi ve species. Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark & Muma was the most common species, collected from 12 plant species in fi ve DOI collection sites. Eleven phytoseiid species were reported for the fi rst time in the Mato 10.1590/0001-3765202120200729 Grosso State.

Mato Grosso is a large state of the central-western Phytoseiidae is considered the most region of Brazil, occupying an area of about 10% important family of predatory mites, with several 2 (903.207 km ) of the country´s territory ( IBGE species being produced and used commercially 2020) and extending over parts of three biomes for the biological control of arthropod pests, (Amazon Forest, Cerrado and Pantanal). Despite including small insects (thrips and whitefl ies) being one of the main agricultural producers in and mites (McMurtry et al. 2013, 2015, Knapp et Brazil (Sousa et al. 2017), relatively few studies al. 2018). The aim of this study was to evaluate (Ferla & Moraes 2002, Moraes et al. 2006, Demite the phytoseiid species associated with plants & Feres 2007, Demite et al. 2008a, 2009, Daud & both in the natural vegetation and cultivated Feres 2013) have been conducted to understand forests in Mato Grosso State. the local mite fauna. Most of these studies have been conducted in rubber tree plantations, except that of Demite et al. (2009), conducted MATERIALS AND METHODS in areas of natural vegetation of the Cerrado Mites were collected from ten sites (Table I and biome, neighboring plots of rubber trees. In Figure 1). Leaf and fl ower samples were obtained these studies, only 25 phytoseiid species were from the natural vegetation and cultivated reported, too few for a state about the size of the forests from sites of the biomes found in the largest countries of western Europe.
