Two field surveys on agricultural and non-agricultural plants in Madeira Island, and examination of slides of the Laboratório de Qualidade Agrícola (LQA, Madeira) collection, disclosed two species belonging to the genus Eutetranychus: the Texas citrus mite Eutetranychus banksi, associated with Citrus x aurantium, Citrus limon, Citrus reticulata, Phaseolus vulgaris (new host record), Plumeria rubra and Ricinus communis, and the African red mite Eutetranychus africanus on Citrus medica (new host record), Carica papaya, Vitis vinifera and R. communis. Both species are new records for Madeira Island, and this is the first record of E. africanus for a European country. Molecular analysis (18S rRNA gene) of E. africanus confirmed morphological identification. This integrative approach of comparing morphological and molecular characters with validated references allowed us to reliably identify this species, which has repeatedly been misidentified in the past.

A new predatory mite species of the genus Leioseius Berlese, L. subarcticus Joharchi n. sp., is described and illustrated on the basis of morphological characters of adults collected in the subarctic zone of northern Tyumen, from the soil covered with lichens. We also provide additional morphological information and new illustrations for L. changbaiensis Yin and Bei. The species known only from the type series, was found under bark in China (Changbai Mountains, Jilin Province) and is now recorded for the first time in the Altai Republic, Russia, close to type locality from the same habitat. In addition, an identification key to all known Russian species of the genus is presented.

Chigger mites were collected from 65 bird species in different regions of Thailand and Malaysia. In total, 21 species were recorded. The previously unknown fauna of chiggers parasitizing shorebirds of Thailand included one new species, Neacariscus (Whartonacarus) andamanensis n. sp. as well as Neacariscus (Neacariscus) pluvius (Wharton, 1945) previously recorded only in Oceania; Neacariscus (Whartonacarus) shiraii (Sasa, Kano and Obata, 1952) (known from Oceania and Japan); and Neacariscus (Whartonacarus) sulae (Oudemans, 1910) and Schoengastia archaea (Taufflieb, 1960), both described from West Africa. Toritrombicula kirhocephales Goff, 1982 described from Papua New Guinea was for the first time recorded in Asia (Thailand). Neoschoengastia gallinarum (Hatori, 1920) and Helenicula comata (Womersley, 1952) were for the first time recorded in Thailand. Ascoschoengastia lorius (Gunther, 1939) was for the first time recorded in Malaysia. Finally, Ericotrombidium cosmetopode (Vercammen-Grandjean and Langston, 1971) described from free larvae, was for the first time recorded on a host (bird Pellorneum ruficeps Swainson); and Leptotrombidium miculum (Traub and Audy, 1954) was for the first time recorded on a bird host. New host species were recorded for a large part of the collected chigger species.

Freshwater mites of the family Unionicolidae are associated with freshwater mussels and snails in lakes and streams on all continents except Antarctica. The majority of the currently known 265 Unionicolidae species are associated with molluscs during at least one stage of their life cycle. A new host record is presented here from India: Unionicola (Myanamaratax) savadiensis from the host Lamellidens corrianus. In addition to L. corrianus, U. savadiensis was also found associated with two other mussel species, i.e., Lamellidens marginalis and Corbicula cashmiriensis, but DNA evidence confirms parasite-host association between U. (M.) savadiensis and L. corrianus, indicating that its findings in the two other mussel species should be considered as 'vagrant' associations. This report is thus significant for two reasons: (i) the record of the new host and geographic associations of the mite and mussels extends our knowledge on the known mite-mussels associations, and (ii) the study emphasized the importance of including experts from acarology, malacology, and molecular biology, to ascertain the nature of mite-mussel associations.

In the present study, the development, reproduction, survival, and population growth rate of the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii Athias- Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) were evaluated when fed on pollen of eight different plant species; lebbeck [Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth.], date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), Khejri [Prosopis cineraria (L.) Druce], castor bean (Ricinus communis L.), maize (Zea mays L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), cogongrass [Imperata cylindrical (L.) P. Beauv.], and cattail (Typha sp.), at 25 ± 1 °C, 65 ± 5% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16:8 h (L: D). Pollen of maize and date palm did not exert any mortality during pre-imaginal development, while the highest immature mortality was observed on cogongrass pollen. The longest immature development of both sexes was obtained when sunflower pollen was the food source, whereas it was shortest on castor bean pollen followed by date palm pollen. Females fed on maize pollen laid the highest number of eggs, while the females on cogongrass laid the lowest number. The intrinsic rate of increase (r) and the finite rate of increase (λ) were highest on date palm pollen and the lowest on cogongrass. Overall, we found that date palm and maize pollen are the most promising alternative food sources of the species tested for A. swirskii because populations reared on date palm and maize pollen showed no pre-adult mortality and had the longest oviposition period, and the highest fecundity and population growth rates.
以8种不同植物的花粉为食，研究了捕食性螨(蜱螨亚纲:植螨科)的发育、繁殖、存活和种群生长率;白花苜蓿(L.)Benth。]、枣椰树(Phoenix dactylifera L.)、海参(Prosopis cineraria L.)[麻]，蓖麻(Ricinus communis L.)，玉米(Zea mays L.)，向日葵(Helianthus annuus L.)，狗尾草[Imperata圆柱形(L.)]测定。在25±1°C、65±5%相对湿度和16:8 h (L: D)的光照条件下，玉米和枣椰树的花粉在想象前发育过程中没有任何死亡率，而红草花粉的未成熟死亡率最高。以葵花花粉为食物源时，雌雄幼体发育时间最长，以蓖麻豆花粉最短，其次是枣棕花粉。以玉米花粉为食的雌蜂产卵数量最多，而以枸杞为食的雌蜂产卵数量最少。内在增长率(r)和有限增长率(λ)在枣椰树花粉中最高，在梧桐草中最低。总体而言，我们发现枣椰树和玉米花粉是最有希望的替代食物来源，因为以枣椰树和玉米花粉饲养的种群没有成虫前死亡，产卵期最长，繁殖力和种群增长率最高。

Megalurothrips usitatus (Bagnall) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), commonly known as the Asian bean thrips, is a destructive pest of leguminous crops, causing significant damage and economic losses. In the present study, the functional responses and predation rates of two predatory mites Macrocheles mammifer Berlese (Macrochelidae) and Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Womersley) (Laelapidae) on M. usitatus pupae were evaluated. The former was discovered in a cowpea Vigna unguiculata (Linn.) Walp. field of southern China, while the latter is commonly used as a biological control agent for soil-dwelling pests. Both M. mammifer and S. scimitus females consumed more M. usitatus than protonymphs, and the predation rate of the adult stage of M. mammifer was found to be significantly higher than that of S. scimitus. Likewise, logistic regression analysis revealed that both predators exhibited a type II functional response. Females of M. mammifer and S. scimitus displayed a higher attack rate and shorter handling time (Th) compared to conspecific protonymphs when preying on pupae of M. usitatus. Female M. mammifer recorded the highest attack rate (a) of 4.028, closely followed by female S. scimitus at 3.994. The protonymph of M. mammifer had an attack rate of 2.651, while the protonymph of S. scimitus displayed the lowest rate of 1.402. Female M. mammifer exhibited the shortest handling time (0.089), indicating superior prey-handling ability. Overall, the predatory mites M. mammifer and S. scimitus demonstrated considerable promise for managing M. usitatus, with M. mammifer displaying higher efficacy than S. scimitus.

Phytoseiid mites are of great importance for the biological control of spider mites, thrips, and whiteflies. In this article, we present six species of predatory mites from the family Phytoseiidae, which are included in the list of indigenous organisms for biological control in Slovenia. These species are Amblyseius andersoni, Neoseiulus californicus, N. barkeri, N. cucumeris, Euseius gallicus, and Typhlodromus pyri. Being included in the list mentioned above, these species have great potential to be used in biological control and are technically qualified sources for the management of several pest species in agricultural production in Slovenia. Detailed information about the feeding habits, food preferences, and biological control potentials of these species is presented herein.
