Burying beetles (Silphidae) and mites (Acari) have a well-established mutualistic interaction, and the phoretic mites will accompany their host even after its death. A voucher specimen of Nicrophorus vespillo (L., 1758) housed in the historical collection at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History (OUMNH) was examined for its 456 plus phoretic mites, which were carefully glued to cardboard slides and preserved together with the beetle carrier. Due to the fragility of the samples, only the Mesostigmata mites were prepared for mounting and further species identification. With the addition of 6 hypopi of Histiostomatidae, a total of 462 mites were identified. Four hypopi were found attached on the Parasitidae dorsal shields and two glued to the cardboard surface. The remaining 456 were composed of 445 specimens of two populations of Poecilochirus carabi Canestrini and Canestrini, 1882 (Parasitidae), and 11 specimens identified as two populations of Macrocheles nataliae Bregetova et Koroleva, 1960. We discuss the interaction and diversity of the numerous mites recorded on a single N. vespillo host. We propose that the presence of different populations of phoretic mites on a single carrier is beneficial to the mites, increasing their chances of outbreeding, adding to their genetic diversity. This study reports a new record of Acari-to-Acari hyperphoresy.

The systematic position of the subgenus Endopodalius Christian and Karg, 2006, previously recognized by Lindquist and Evans, 1965, as the scutalis species group in Lasioseius, is reviewed. Based in part on plesiomorphic structures of the female sperm access system being of a laelapoid type, it is removed as a subgenus of the blattisociid genus Lasioseius in the superfamily Phytoseioidea and accomodated as a separate genus within the superfamily Ascoidea. In other respects, adult females of this taxon are so distinctive apomorphically to justify separate family group recognition, Endopodaliidae, fam. nov., tentatively related as a sister-group to the morphologically and behaviorally more derived Antennochelidae Lindquist and Moraza, 2014. Species of this family are tropical, their adult females phoretic on beetles of various families of the infraorder Cucujiformia, suborder Polyphaga. A diagnosis of the family and revised description of Endopodalius based on adult females and males are presented, with an updated key to world recognized species of the genus, including the following new binominal combinations, Endopodalius americanus (Chant,1963), Endopodalius mouchei (Loots, 1980), and a new synonym: E. scutalis (Banks, 1914) (= E. prorsoperitrematus Abo-Shnaf et al., 2016). A lectotype is designated from type material of Hypoaspis scutalis Banks, 1914.

We report the first occurrence in Africa, in Burkina Faso, of an exotic spider mite, Tetranychus truncatus, including new host records. Due to morphological variation in the specimens we observed, we used molecular and morphological approaches to obtain a reliable identification of this alien species. Sampling events also disclosed two new spider mite records for Burkina Faso, Eutetranychus orientalis and Tetranychus urticae and several new host plant records.

Spirodiclofen is characterized by a relatively slow acaricidal action against adult females of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), with reduction of their fecundity (eggs laid/female) and fertility (eggs hatched/female). Exposure of pre-ovipositing T. urticae females to the acaricide may affect population growth, considering that a high reproduction of young females is crucial in the population biology of this colonizing species. Effects of spirodiclofen on life-history traits and population parameters of T. urticae were evaluated in demographic bioassay using the age-stage two-sex life table, constructed in fecundity-based and fertility-based variants. The acaricide was applied against pre-ovipositing females in a series of nine concentrations, starting from the recommended field rate (96 mg/l). The treatments with concentrations ranging from 12 - 96 mg/l significantly reduced fecundity and longevity, while 27 - 40% of females didn’t lay eggs. Exposure was lethal to 2 - 21% of the females, of whom a large majority didn’t lay eggs. A considerable part of surviving females also failed to lay eggs within the first four post-treatment days (when around 50% of all eggs in the control were laid) i.e., they were sterilized by the acaricide. At the same time, the percentage of dead females rose to 17 - 55%, mainly due to the mortality of sterilized females. The three highest concentrations (24 – 96 mg/l) significantly reduced the net reproductive rate (R0), intrinsic rate of increase (r) and finite rate of increase (λ), by 49-72%, 20-34%, and 4-6%, respectively, compared to the control. This reduction was mainly the result of sterilization and high mortality of treated females, in combination with reduced fecundity and longevity of reproductive ones. Application of the fertility-based life table showed significant decrease of r and λ (by 23-40%, and 4-7%, respectively, compared to the control), in the treatments with the three highest concentrations. The short-lived transovarial toxic effect observed in the fertility-based life table was not sufficient to cause a significant reduction in population parameters, compared to those acquired by the fecundity-based life table.

Development, reproduction, and demographic parameters of the predatory mite Euseius scutalis (Athias-Henriot) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) were determined in the laboratory at 25±1 °C, with a 16L:8D photoperiod and 60 ±5% RH, to evaluate its response to four different diets: Tetranychus turkestani Ugarov and Nikolskii (Acari: Tetranychidae), caster bean pollen, date palm pollen, and hopbush pollen. Male and female mites raised on T. turkestani had a shorter mean pre-adult duration than those grown on date palm, castor, and hopbush pollen. Pre-adult mortality was found to be greater in either the larval stage or protonymphal stage than other stages. The highest and lowest pre-adult mortality rates were recorded on castor bean pollen (31.87%) and T. turkestani (2.94%), respectively. The total pre-oviposition periods (TPOP) on hopbush and castor bean pollen were significantly longer than those on T. turkestani and date palm pollen. The highest egg production and oviposition period were determined when T. turkestani were provided as diet. Overall, the individuals lived considerably longer when provided with T. turkestani and hopbush pollen than the two other diets. The gross reproductive rate (GRR) and net reproductive rate (R0) on T. turkestani were greater than the values attained on other diets. The highest intrinsic (r) and finite rates of increase (λ) were found to be 0.2537 and 1.2888 on T. turkestani, respectively. However, R0, GRR, r, and λ were almost similar between all pollen diets tested. In general, all diets tested in this study were adequate for development and oviposition in E. scutalis, but T. turkestani was the most favorable diet.

The present study proposes the restructuring of Ologamasiphis genus (family Parasitidae) comprising two subgenera Ologamasiphis s. s. and Holzmannia Juvara-Balş, 2002, to have the respective subgenera elevated to the genus level, as well as to have the brand-new Juvaria subgenus created within the Holzmannia genus. The proposed restructuring is based on two newly described species belonging to the genus Holzmannia and subgenus Juvaria n. subgen., to wit Holzmannia (Juvaria) pilosa n. sp. and Holzmannia (Juvaria) silvestris n. sp. Furthermore, two new species belonging to Ologamasiphis genus are described: Ologamasiphis setosus n. sp. and Ologamasiphis zelkovae n. sp. Pertinent modification of the existing key to the Parasitidae genera by Hrúzová and Fenďa (2018) is also supplied.
本研究提出对寄生科寄生蝇属(Ologamasiphis s.s.)和寄生蝇属(Holzmannia juvara - balki, 2002)两个亚属进行重组,将各自的亚属提升到属的水平,并在寄生蝇属中创建全新的寄生蝇亚属(Juvaria)。提出的重组是基于属于Holzmannia属和Juvaria亚属亚属的两个新描述的物种。此外,本文还描述了两个属于寄生属的新种:寄生属的Ologamasiphis setosus n. sp和寄生属的Ologamasiphis zelkovae n. sp。并提供了Hrúzová和Fenďa(2018)对寄生科的现有密钥的相关修改。
