Abstract The morphological ontogeny of Melanozetes interruptus Willmann, 1953 is redescribed and illustrated. The juveniles of this species are brown with dark-brown sclerites. In juveniles humeral organ and humeral macrosclerite are present, seta c1 is inserted on humeral macrosclerite, and setae c2 and c3 are inserted on microsclerites. In the larva, the gastronotal shield has seven pairs of setae (d-, l-series and h1), in the nymphs it has nine pairs (d-, l-, h-series), whereas all setae of p-series are inserted on microsclerites, which is unique in Melanozetes Hull, 1916. In most nymphs of this genus seta p1 is inserted on gastronotal shield. In the juveniles and adult the legs are stocky, all femora are flattened, and femora I and II have a large ventral carina. Solenidion ω2 on tarsus I is located anterior to solenidion ω1 and is longer than ω1. In this species tarsal setae a are clearly longer than seta s.
摘要 重新描述并说明了Melanozetes interruptus Willmann, 1953的形态发生。该物种的幼体为棕色，硬节为深褐色。幼虫体内有肱骨器官和肱骨大硬节，刚毛 c1 位于肱骨大硬节上，刚毛 c2 和 c3 位于小硬节上。幼虫的胃盾有 7 对刚毛（d-、l-系列和 h1），若虫的胃盾有 9 对刚毛（d-、l-、h-系列），而 p-系列的所有刚毛都插在小clerite上，这在 Melanozetes Hull, 1916 中是独一无二的。在该属的大多数若虫中，p1刚毛着生在胃盾上。幼虫和成虫的腿粗壮，所有的股骨都扁平，股骨 I 和 II 有一个大的腹侧心突。跗节Ⅰ上的olenidion ω2位于olenidion ω1的前方，比ω1长。该物种的跗节 a 明显长于跗节 s。

Environmental factors, such as the wavelength of light, can have a crucial impact on mite development. Little is, however, known about the effect of visible light quality on demographic parameters of Phytoseiidae. We therefore conducted series of laboratory experiments in which development and reproduction of Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot feeding on Tetranychus urticae Koch eggs was investigated under various light conditions (white, blue, green, yellow, and red light). The results revealed that different light wavelengths influenced each developmental stage, with the green light conditions promoting longest pre-adult development. The longevity of both male and female mites varied significantly across light wavelengths, with the shortest lifespan observed under red light. The highest mean total fecundity, 16 eggs per female, was observed under white light conditions. Population parameters (R0, r, and λ) were also highest under white light and decreased with increasing light wavelength. These findings suggest that light wavelength plays a significant role in development, survival, and reproduction of the predatory mite, with white light being identified as providing the best light conditions for commercial production of P. persimilis.

Abstract The aim of this work was to know the population fluctuation of the mites in apple (Malus domestica Borkh: Rosaceae) orchards with different crop management strategies, with emphasis on Aculus schlechtendali Nalepa (Eriophyidae) and Panonychus ulmi (Koch) (Tetranychidae) and their natural enemies. The studies were carried out in 2020-21, in three organic orchards (Eva, Fuji and Gala), from Antônio Prado, two conventional (Fuji and Gala), from Muitos Capões, RS, Brazil, and two of regenerative agriculture (Fuji and Gala), in São Joaquim, SC, Brazil. Forty plants/orchard were sampled, from which three leaves/plant from the apical, median and basal offshoot were detached. The material was screened and identified in the laboratory. A total of 7.193 specimens, belonging to 14 families, 29 genera, and 40 species, were collected. The most common phytophagous mites were A. schlechtendali (46.2%), P. ulmi (16.9%) and Polyphagotarsonemus latus Banks (Tarsonemidae) (10.9%). Panonychus ulmi was observed in all orchards, being abundant in conventional and regenerative orchards. The most common predatory mites were Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) (Phytoseiidae), Agistemus riograndensis Johann and Ferla (Stigmaeidae) and Agistemus brasiliensis Matioli, Ueckermann and Oliveira (Stigmaeidae). Among predators, greater diversity was observed in organic orchards, while in conventional and regenerative orchards N. californicus was the most common. Greater acarine abundance was observed when there was an increase in temperatures, and the predatory mites increased their populations in response to the presence of phytophagous mites. The results suggest that the mite populations were influenced by the cultivar and mainly by the management used.

A new species of mite, Amblyseius taiguensis Liu, Ma & Fan, sp. nov. (Acari: Phytoseiidae), has been recently discovered from Setaria viridis (L.) P. Beauv. (Poaceae) in Taigu County, Shanxi Province, China. The morphology of this new species is described in detail for all life stages, including larva, protonymph, deutonymph and adult female and male. A comparison of the morphology of A. taiguensis sp. nov. with other related species in the genus Amblyseius Berlese has been conducted. This new finding contributes to the diversity of phytoseiid mites in China and the studies of morphological changes could have implications for the understanding of the developmental and evolutionary biology of Amblyseius.

A new subgenus Egeoglandula subgen. nov., has been erected within the water mite genus Neumania Lebert, 1879. This subgenus includes the following four species: Neumania disetus Jin, 1997, Neumania cercalis Jin, 1997, Neumania dolichotricha Jin, 1997 and Neumania navina Cook, 1967. The latter species is recorded for the first time from China. Additionally, three new species of the new subgenus are described: Neumania segrega sp. nov., Neumania palosa sp. nov., Neumania secara sp. nov. These new findings contribute to the knowledge of the genus Neumania from China.

Abstract The 16th International Congress of Acarology was successfully conducted from December 1 to 5, 2022, at the Owen G. Glenn Building, The University of Auckland, in Auckland, New Zealand. The event saw a total of 259 attendees from 32 different countries or regions, with two-thirds of them participating virtually. Besides the opening and closing ceremonies, the congress included (1) five plenary keynote presentations (one each day), (2) 52 invited presentations across eight symposia, 93 presentations in 10 subject sections, and 19 poster flash presentations in two parallel sessions, and (3) 16 poster presentations. This congress was the first of its kind to publish the proceedings before the event began and to provide video recordings for the participants and potentially the wider community.

The genus Typhlodromina (Acari: Phytoseiidae) comprises six species worldwide. Three of them were previously recorded in New Zealand. During our studies of the phytoseiid mites, notable misidentifications were found in mite collections within New Zealand. This paper aims to rectify the taxonomic uncertainties associated with this genus in the country. We conducted a comprehensive examination of specimens deposited in major collections across the country, employing detailed morphological characteristics. Our findings indicate that only two species, T. aristidesi (El Banhawy) and T. musero (Schicha), are present in New Zealand and the prior records of T. eharai Muma and Denmark actually correspond to T. musero (Schicha).
Typhlodromina属（蛔虫科：Phytoseiidae）在全球共有六个物种。其中 3 种以前在新西兰有记录。在我们对植螨的研究过程中，发现新西兰境内的螨类藏品存在明显的识别错误。本文旨在纠正新西兰与该属相关的分类不确定性。我们利用详细的形态特征，对全国各地主要收藏的标本进行了全面检查。我们的研究结果表明，新西兰仅有两个物种：T. aristidesi (El Banhawy) 和 T. musero (Schicha)，而之前记录的 T. eharai Muma 和丹麦实际上对应于 T. musero (Schicha)。
