During this survey in southeastern France, there were found three new alien spider mites species: Aponychus corpuzae found on Phyllostachys sp. and Semiarundinaria yashadake; the Persea mite Oligonychus perseae found on Persea americana and most probably also on Vitis vinifera; Stigmaeopsis nanjingensis found on Phyllostachys sp. and S. yashadake. In connection with the new records of A. corpuzae, we propose an identification key for the world species of the genus Aponychus.

This study aimed to determine the predatory performance of Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) against Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) on six different cotton varieties (Gloria, Lima, Carla, DP-396, Edessa, ST-468) with different leaf characteristics. The eggs and the protonymph stages of the prey with six prey densities (5, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160) were separately offered to a single female predator to determine its predation and oviposition rates for 24h. The results showed that P. persimilis exhibited a Type II functional response to both egg and protonymphal stages of T. urticae irrespective of cotton varieties. The highest attack rates (α) were 0.045 h- and 0.085 h- when the predator fed on eggs and protonymphs of T. urticae on Gloria (low trichome density) variety, respectively. There was a great similarity between the handling times (Th) of P. persimilis feeding on T. urticae eggs and protonymphs among different cotton varieties. No significant difference was found in terms of food consumption of P. persimilis fed on T. urticae eggs in different cotton varieties. In contrast, food consumptions of P. persimilis in all protonymph densities (except 160) were significantly higher on varieties with lower trichome density (Gloria and Lima) compared to the varieties with higher trichome density (Edessa and ST-468). The current study showed that the leaf trichome density of the cotton plant affected the prey consumption capacity of P. persimilis on T. urticae protonymphs. However, more studies are needed to address the issue from a wider perspective, especially to observe the performance and biological control potential of P. persimilis on cotton varieties under field conditions.

Spider mites are considered as a potential threat to varying agricultural crops across the globe. Among the agriculturally important spider mite species, Tetranychus urticae Koch and Tetranychus macfarlanei Baker and Pritchard severely affect crop production and incur heavy yield loss in agriculture sector. As an ecofriendly pest management strategy, biocontrol using phytoseiid predatory mites are gaining significant attention over the past few decades. Evaluation of predatory potential and prey stage preference could provide invaluable information on the predatory efficiency of any predators. Feeding experiments were conducted using the phytoseiid predatory mite, Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans) on mulberry leaf discs under the laboratory conditions of 30±2ºC, 70±5% Relative Humidity (RH) and a photoperiod of 11 L: 14 D h. After 24 hr of feeding experiment, the nymph and adult female predator exhibited a significant preference in feeding towards the eggs of T. urticae and T. macfarlanei. The larval stage of the predator was found to be non-feeding, thus excluded from the feeding experiment. The order of feeding preference of adult female predator towards different life stages of both the spider mite species were identified as egg>nymph>larva>adult. On the contrary, the predatory nymphal stage exhibited different trend in feeding preference towards the life stages of T. urticae and could be recorded as egg>larva>nymph>adult. For T. macfarlanei, the same could be found as egg>larva=nymph>adult. Surprisingly, irrespective of the life stage differences, N. longispinosus hardly consumed any of the T. macfarlanei adults.
蜘蛛螨被认为是对全球各种农业作物的潜在威胁。在农业上重要的蜘蛛螨种中，二斑叶螨、麦氏叶螨和普里查德叶螨严重影响作物生产，并在农业部门造成严重的产量损失。作为一种生态友好的害虫管理策略，利用植物寄生捕食性螨进行生物防治在过去几十年中受到了极大的关注。对捕食潜力和捕食阶段偏好的评估可以为任何捕食者的捕食效率提供宝贵的信息。在30±2ºC、70±5%相对湿度（RH）和11 L:14 D h光周期的实验室条件下，使用植物性捕食性螨Neoseulus longisanosus（Evans）在桑叶盘上进行饲养实验。饲养实验24小时后，若虫和成年雌性捕食者表现出显著的偏好，以二斑蝶和麦氏蝶的卵为食。捕食者的幼虫阶段被发现是不进食的，因此被排除在进食实验之外。成年雌性捕食者对两种蜘蛛螨不同生命阶段的捕食偏好顺序为卵>若虫>幼虫>成虫。捕食性若虫阶段对二斑蝶各生命阶段的取食偏好不同，可分为卵>幼虫>若虫>成虫。麦氏锥虫的卵数>幼虫数=若虫数>成虫数相同。令人惊讶的是，无论生命阶段的差异如何，长棘猪笼草几乎没有吃掉任何一只成年的麦氏猪笼草。

Two new species of feather mites from the bird host Hemixos castanonotus Swinhoe, 1870 (Pycnonotidae) collected in China are described: Trouessartia bulbuli sp. nov. (Trouessartiidae) and Pteroherpus guangdongensis sp. nov. (Pteronyssidae). Trouessartia bulbuli sp. nov. is close to T. latisetata Gaud, 1952 and differs in having the following features: in males of T. bulbuli tibia IV has apical thorn-like process at base of solenidia φ, epimerites IVa are wide and with a small extension of irregular form on the anterior end; in females, the copulatory opening is on the small wide-angular projection (external copulatory tube) on the margin of interlobar membrane and h1 setae are filiform. Pteroherpus guangdongensis sp. nov. belongs to the hoplophorus species group and is most close to P. meghalayensis Constantinescu, 2014.The new species has the following distinctive characters: in males, a very long genital apparatus and the epiandrum with long branches, extending beyond the base of setae 4a, a pair of small additional sclerites posterior to prodorsal shield is present, and adanal shield is shaped as a small longitudinal sclerite of irregular form; in females, the hysterosomal shield is split into unpaired anterior hysteronotal sclerite shaped as shaped as dumb-bell, central sclerite of triangular form, paired lateral opisthosomal sclerites and pygidial sclerites (similar to those in other species of hoplophorus group), and the hysteronotal gland openings gl are situated on the striated tegument.

Tenuipalpidae (Trombidiformes: Tetranychoidea) is an economically important family of plant-feeding mites. The family has approximately 1,100 described species in 41 genera with worldwide distribution. Currently, 40 species of Tenuipalpidae have been recorded from Brazil, and prior to this study only 11 were known from Bahia state. Five new species records are presented here for Bahia, making a total of 16 species now known from the state. Brevipalpus is considered the most important genus due to their association with, and ability to transmit, devastating plant viruses. Some diseases caused by viruses transmitted by Brevipalpus mites (VTBs) have already been recorded in the state of Bahia, such as the Passion fruit green spot virus and citrus leprosis. This paper presents a checklist of tenuipalpids reported from the state of Bahia in Brazil, including new records and an illustrated identification key to the species.

A new species of the subgenus Endopodalius associated with agave weevil of the species Scyphophorus acupunctatus Gyllenhal (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) is described based on adult females from the southeast region of the Iberian Peninsula. This beetle, relative of the palm weevil, is an invasive exotic species already present in the Iberian Peninsula (Mediterranean region) as a new pest spreading among the agave plants. Morphological aspects of this mite, such as a simplified laelapid-type sperm access system, the remarkably elongated cheliceral shafts with an elongate subcapitular platform and other caracteristics reveals new undescribed attributes for the subgenus.

Mites of the family Klinckowstroemiidae are phoretic on passalid beetles in the New World. The family includes 37 species distributed in 4 genera, Klinckowstroemia (28 spp.), Similantennurella (2 spp.), Klinckowstroemiella (5 spp.) y Antennurella (2 spp.). Little is known about the true distribution and species diversity of these genera, especially the latter 3. We examined specimens of Antennurella, Similantennurella and Klinckowstroemiella collected from passalids from several entomological collections. We added Ecuador, French Guyana, Guatemala and Mexico to the distribution range of Similantennurella, Belize, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Trinidad and Venezuela for Antenurella, and Bolivia, Ecuador, Honduras and Peru for Klinckowstroemiella. We report 8 new passalid host species previously unknown for these genera. Our study suggests a broad distribution range of the 3 genera, probably encompassing Mesoamerica and South America except Chile and Patagonia, where passalids are not found. Antennurella, Similantennurella and Klinckowstroemiella apparently occur primarily below 1500m altitude, while Klinckowstroemia has been repeatedly found above this limit. All genera have been found mostly on large passalids (>22 mm, long). We also cite the family for the first time from El Salvador.
