Abstract The morphological ontogeny of Pilogalumna ayildizi sp. nov. is described and illustrated. This species is similar to P. tenuiclava (Berlese, 1908) as adult, but differs from it clearly by the morphology of juvenile stages and ecology. The larva of P. ayildizi has 12 pairs of gastronotal setae, most are short and smooth except for slightly longer dp and medium-sized c-series, h1 and h2, and minute h3, and the nymphs have 15 pairs of these setae, most are short and smooth except for medium-sized and barbed c-series. The gastronotal shield of juveniles is poorly developed with setae of d-, l-series and h1 in the larva, and d-, l-, h-series and p1 in the nymphs. In the juveniles setae of c-series, p2 and p3 have basal microsclerites, and a humeral organ is present.

Abstract A new monotypic fossil family Unguicheylidae fam. nov. with type genus and species Unguicheylus quadriocellatus gen. nov., sp. nov. is described from the early-Cretaceous (Albian–lower Cenomanian) amber of northern Siberia (Taimyr amber, Baikura locality). The new family is provisionally placed in the superfamily Anystoidea and most similar to the family Pseudocheylidae, but differs mainly in having apomorphically adnate cheliceral bases (free, mobile bases in Pseudocheylidae), and the tarsi of all legs lacking annulated pretarsal stalks bearing reduced claws (present, apomorphic to Pseudocheylidae).

Abstract Neoseiulus cucumeris (Oudemans) is a commercially available biocontrol agent against various pests. This generalist predator was reared on cattail pollen for 10 generations (G10) and its quality was evaluated using functional and numerical responses to Tetranychus urticae Koch nymph densities as prey. The experiments were conducted by offering a range of prey densities (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 nymphs) under standard conditions (25 ± 1°C, 60 ± 5% RH, and a photoperiod of L16:D8 h). The predator exhibited a type III functional response after ten generations of rearing on cattail pollen (G10), while it was type II when the predator had no experience with pollen (G0). The highest estimated maximum predation rate (T/Th) was in G0 (127 prey/day), and the lowest was in G10 (85 prey/day); while, the observed maximum predation rate (OMPR) in the mentioned generations was 67 and 84 prey/day, respectively. The number of prey consumed and the number of eggs laid by the predator in G10 was significantly more than G0. The effects of predator's generation, prey density, and their interaction on predation and oviposition rate (on T. urticae) were statistically significant. Therefore, because of the higher predation and oviposition rate, and efficient quality of mass-reared predators on cattail pollen, it is proposed that this pollen can be an appropriate food source for mass rearing of N. cucumeris.

Abstract Aceria guerreronis Keifer and Steneotarsonemus furcatus De Leon are phytophagous mites that attack coconut fruits. These mites establish their colonies under the bracts in the perianth where they feed, causing necrosis and a loss of fruit quality and commercial value. Phytoseiidae is considered the most important family for the control of pest mites. With 256 species documented, the Phytoseiid fauna in Brazil is highly diversified. They are distributed across all Brazilian biomes, including the Amazon, Caatinga, Cerrado, Pampa, Atlantic Forest, and Pantanal. Regardless of the fact that the Amazon biome occupies an estimated 49% of the Brazilian territory, its acarofauna remains unexplored. In this region, coconut is one of the most cultivated crops, although the variety of mites in this crop in the Amazon is yet unclear. This information is essential since there are potential predatory species that can play an important role in the biological control of coconut pests. Thus, the present study investigated the diversity and seasonality of mites in coconut fruits in the Eastern Amazon production region throughout the year. Data were collected monthly and analyzed to determine the diversity and seasonality. The faunistic indices were calculated using the program ANAFAU, and the abundance and diversity of phytoseiids were analyzed using the software EstimateS. As the fruit ages, the quantity of injured fruits increases. The mites collected belonged to the families: Oribatida (20), Rhodacaroidea (14), Eriophyidae (473,904), Phytoseiidae (147), Tarsonemidae (133), Ascidae (122), Bdellidae (110), Tydeidae (59), Cunaxidae (7), Eupodidae (7), Cheyletidae (5), Blattisociidae (4), and Cryptognathidae (1). Throughout the collection period, A. guerreronis and S. furcatus were detected on fruits with and without damage, with A. guerreronis being the most prevalent. Predatory mites of the Phytoseiidae family were sampled from 12 collections, totaling 147 specimens distributed across eight species. Amblyseius aerialis (Muma) was the predominant predator species. The peak population of A. guerreronis and S. furcatus occurred in different periods, although both species were sampled during periods of high precipitation, suggesting adaptation to the climatic conditions of the region. Temperature was strongly correlated with mites of the Phytoseiidae family. The occurrence of these mites was more common in months with higher temperatures. The mite A. aerialis was discovered in 12 evaluations, with a greater occurrence in October 2019 and August 2020. Understanding the diversity, abundance, and population fluctuations of pest mites and their natural enemies in coconut plants is critical for developing integrated pest management strategies.
摘要/ Abstract摘要:革氏针叶螨(Aceria guerronis Keifer)和furcatus steotarsonemus De Leon是侵害椰子果实的植食性螨。这些螨虫在花被的苞片下建立它们的殖民地,在那里它们觅食,造成坏死和果实质量和商业价值的损失。植物绥螨科被认为是防治害虫螨最重要的科。巴西的植物类动物群高度多样化,有256种记录在案。它们分布在巴西所有的生物群落中,包括亚马逊、卡廷加、塞拉多、潘帕、大西洋森林和潘塔纳尔。尽管亚马逊生物群落占据了巴西领土的49%,但它的生物群落仍未被开发。在这个地区,椰子是种植最多的作物之一,尽管亚马逊地区这种作物的螨虫种类尚不清楚。这些信息是必不可少的,因为有潜在的掠食性物种可以在椰子害虫的生物控制中发挥重要作用。因此,本研究对亚马孙东部产区椰子果实中螨虫的多样性和季节性进行了调查。每月收集数据并进行分析,以确定多样性和季节性。利用ANAFAU软件计算区系指数,利用estimate软件分析植物类的丰度和多样性。随着果实的老化,受损果实的数量增加。螨类隶属于甲螨科(20只)、蔷薇螨科(14只)、飞蛾螨科(473,904只)、植螨科(147只)、跗螨科(133只)、尾螨科(122只)、蠓科(110只)、踏螨科(59只)、蠓科(7只)、拟蠓科(7只)、车螨科(5只)、社会小蠊科(4只)、隐螨科(1只)。在采集过程中,在有损伤和无损伤的果实上均检出革螨和裂螨,以革螨居多。本文从12个采集点采集了8个种147只捕食性螨。空中钝绥螨(Amblyseius aerialis, Muma)为优势捕食种。尽管这两种植物都是在高降水时期采集的,但它们的种群高峰出现在不同的时期,这表明它们对该地区气候条件的适应。温度与植螨科螨类有较强的相关性。这些螨虫在气温较高的月份更常见。在12次评价中均发现空气螨,其中2019年10月和2020年8月出现较多。了解椰子害虫及其天敌的多样性、丰度和种群波动情况,对制定害虫综合治理策略具有重要意义。

Abstract A new quill mite species of the family Syringophilidae and subfamily Picobiinae, Charadriineopicobia janegoodallae sp. nov., is described. It was collected from Wedge-rumped Storm-Petrel Hydrobates tethys (Bonaparte), a representative of the order Procellariiformes and family Hydrobatidae. Our finding is the first record of the subfamily Picobiinae on procellariform hosts and the first record of quill mites of the family Syringophilidae collected from birds inhabiting the Galápagos Islands. Additionally, an identification key to females of all known species of Charadriineopicobia is presented. Because all other species of the genus Charadriineopicobia were found on phylogenetically distant avian hosts of the order Charadriiformes and families Charadriidae, Scolopacidae, and Laridae, we hypothesize that presence of this new mite species parasitizing H. tethys is a result of the mite switching from charadriiform hosts inhabiting the same ecological niche.
