Abstract:
Slovenia is a small country of Central Europe. Until recently, only limited surveys had been carried out of the Phytoseiidae fauna. The occurrence of 14 species had been documented in two international papers: 6 belonging to the subfamily Amblyseiinae, 1 to the subfamily Phytoseiinae and 7 to the subfamily Typhlodrominae. Four additional species (3 Amblyseiinae and 1 Phytoseiinae) were recorded and published recently but in a national journal and not mentioned in the world online database of Phytoseiidae. Here, we present results from 2018 and 2019 field surveys and add a total of 22 new records (18 if we consider national published records): 14 Amblyseiinae, 3 Phytoseiinae and 5 Typhlodrominae. The Phytoseiidae fauna of Slovenia contains after our study 36 species: 20 Amblyseiinae, 4 Phytoseiinae and 12 Typhlodrominae. Among the 22 new record species, at least 8 species are well-known biological control agents (BCA). In addition to the intrinsic value of phytoseiid mite biodiversity in temperate environments, demonstration of the natural occurrence of efficient BCAs is of great agricultural, commercial and strategic interests.

Abstract:
Phytoseiidae Berlese (Acari: Mesostigmata) is a family of predatory mites found mostly on the aerial plant parts. Several phytoseiid species are commercialized as biological control agents. Even though Brazil is the fifth country with the highest number of valid species, knowledge about the phytoseiid fauna in different Brazilian states is highly variable. The objective of this paper is to report unpublished records of phytoseiids on different Brazilian states. The list includes 20 species belonging to 13 genera. New records are reported for 11 states; the largest number of new records is reported for Santa Catarina (7), followed by Paraná (4).

Abstract:
Twenty-four papers refer to phytoseiid mites from different plant species in the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil, but none of those refer to taxonomic surveys on ornamental plants. The aim of this study was to determine phytoseiids from tropical ornamentals in the southern coastal region of Bahia state, as well as to present a checklist and an identification key to the species recorded in that state. Samples were collected at eight localities of five municipalities. A total of seventeen species in nine genera was found on fifteen plant species of the families Costaceae, Heliconiaceae, Musaceae and Zingiberaceae. The most frequent and abundant phytoseiid species were Iphiseiodes metapodalis (El-Banhawy), Amblyseius operculatus De Leon and Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark & Muma, respectively. The checklist and the identification key to the Phytoseiidae species of Bahia were prepared based on the published literature.

Abstract:
Species of the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) inhabit a wide range of herbs, shrubs, and trees. Horse chestnut, Aesculus hippocastanum, is an important ornamental tree in Europe and, in addition to its importance for pollinators, it can serve as a host plant of these predatory mites. Little is, however, known about the factors affecting spatiotemporal variability in the density of phytoseiids on A. hippocastanum in an urban environment. We therefore assessed the species composition and the spatial and seasonal variability in the abundance of Phytoseiidae species in the city of České Budějovice, South Bohemia, Czech Republic. Compound-leaf samples were randomly collected from horse chestnut tree branches at eight sites, five times during the vegetation season in 2013. The mites were collected by washing technique and mounted on slides for identification. In total, 13,903 specimens of phytoseiid mites were found, and eight species were identified: Amblyseius andersoni, Euseius finlandicus, Kampimodromus aberrans, Neoseiulella tiliarum, Phytoseius macropilis, Paraseiulus talbii, Paraseiulus triporus, and Typhlodromus (Typhlodromus) pyri. The predominant species was E. finlandicus (96.25%). The mean number of mites per compound leaf was 2.53, 10.40, 23.54, 11.59, and 9.27 on the sampling dates in each month between May and September, respectively. The results further revealed that the mite abundance varied significantly among sampling sites and that it was negatively related to percentage of greenery area, intensity of greenery care, distance to water body, and density and age of horse chestnut trees, while it was positively related to air pollution index. The importance of leaf micromorphology for the attractiveness of A. hippocastanum to Phytoseiidae is discussed.

Abstract:
Tea agro ecosystems are least disturbed in comparison to other crop systems due to the plant canopy type. A survey on predacious mites’ abundance and impact on leaf yield in different tea production areas was carried out in 2014-2015 in Kenya. Major pest species were the red spider mite Oligonychus coffeae and the yellow thrip, Scirtothrips dorsalis. The red crevice mite, Brevipalpus phoenicis was found in few areas and in low numbers. Predacious mites of Phytoseiidae Family were highest at 5.8 and 6.8 mites per sample during dry and wet seasons, respectively. Phytoseiid abundance during the dry and wet seasons did not differ much within most sample sites. Presence of phytoseiid mites in combination with NPK-fertilizer-high altitude led to the strongest correlation to leaf yield than any other combination variable. High phytoseiid density- high altitude was third with positive impact to yield increase after high altitude combined with NPK-fertilizer. The findings here show contributory positive impact of phytoseiids in tea leaf yield in an agro eco-system.

Abstract:
Phytoseiids were collected March through November, 2006 and 2007, from leaf samples of avocados, cherimoya, caneberry, grape, and strawberry from a combined total of 24 sites. The most diverse collection of phytoseiids was identified on grape with seven different genera and 12 different species followed by caneberry with 7 genera and 7 species. Strawberry was the least diverse with three genera and three different species. The most significant presence of type I and type II phytoseiids were located on caneberry and strawberry while avocado, cherimoya and grape were dominated by type IV species. Reasons for the difference in diversity could be attributed to the availability of preferred hosts, alternate food sources, and the effectiveness of augmentative releases and pesticide applications.

Abstract:
Ainda é pequena a disponibilidade de agentes de controle biológico no Brasil. Isso se deve em parte à dificuldade de produção destes, o que frequentemente inviabiliza seu uso. Os ácaros da família Phytoseiidae estão entre os predadores mais utilizados como agentes de controle biológico de ácaros e de pequenos insetos pragas. Atualmente, a criação daqueles agentes é feita principalmente sobre plantas infestadas com presas naturais. Este tipo de criação, apesar de eficiente, demanda grandes áreas, o que aumenta o custo de produção. Para facilitar a produção, alimentos alternativos têm sido avaliados. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar alimentos alternativos para a produção massal dos fitoseídeos Amblyseius tamatavensis Blommers, Euseius concordis (Chant) e Neoseiulus anonymus (Chant e Baker). Inicialmente realizou-se um teste de oviposição com 15 espécies de ácaros Astigmatina, cinco tipos de pólen e uma espécie de nematoide. Amblyseius tamatavensis foi o único que apresentou níveis satisfatórios de oviposição quando alimentado com ácaros Astigmatina, atingindo 2,6 ovos/fêmea/dia quando alimentado com Thyreophagus n. sp. e 2,1 ovos/fêmea/dia quando alimentado com Aleuroglyphus ovatus (Troupeau, 1879). Dentre os tipos de pólen, o de Ricinus communis L. proporcionou os maiores níveis de oviposição, sendo de 1,7 e 1,2 ovos/fêmea/dia para E. concordis e A. tamatavensis, respectivamente. Neoseiulus anonymus não apresentou níveis satisfatórios de oviposição para nenhum dos tipos de pólen avaliados. Em relação ao nematoide (Protohabditis sp.) apenas A. tamatavensis apresentou nível de oviposição satisfatória, sendo este de 1,2 ovos/fêmea/dia. Com base nestes resultados, optou-se por elaborar uma tabela de vida de fertilidade apenas para A. tamatavensis alimentado com as duas espécies de Astigmatina citados anteriormente. Assim como no teste de oviposição, o melhor desempenho foi obtido com A. tamatavensis alimentado com Thyreophagus n. sp., obtendo níveis satisfatórios de rm (0,19), T (12,8), Ro (11,47) e λ (1,2). Considerando-se os resultados promissores obtidos, iniciou-se um teste preliminar de criação massal de A. tamatavensis utilizando o método descrito por Freire e Moraes (2007). Em uma criação com população inicial de 200 ácaros, o número de predadores aumentou em média 34 vezes após 30 dias. Este resultado mostrou que A. tamatavensis tem grande potencial para ser criado de forma massal com o uso de Thyreophagus n. sp.
The availability of biological control agents in Brazil is still low. This is due in part to the difficulties found in the production of those organisms, which often hampers their use. Phytoseiidae is a family of predatory mites commonly used as biological control agents of mite and small insect pests. Currently, these agents are mainly reared on infested plants with their natural prey. This type of rearing, although efficient, requires large areas, which increases production cost. To facilitate production, alternative food sources have been used. The aim of this study was to determine alternative food for mass production of the phytoseiids Amblyseius tamatavensis Blommers, Euseius concordis (Chant) and Neoseiulus anonymus (Chant and Baker). Initially, an oviposition test was conducted with 15 mite species of the cohort Astigmatina, five types of pollen and one species of bacteriophagous nematode. Amblyseius tamatavensis was the only one that presented satisfactory levels of oviposition when fed with astigmatins, reaching 2.6 eggs/female/day when fed with Thyreophagus n. sp. and 2.1 eggs/female/day when fed with Aleuroglyphus ovatus (Troupeau, 1879). Among the types of pollen, Ricinus communis L. induced the highest levels of oviposition, reaching 1.7 to 1.2 eggs/female/day for E. concordis and A. tamatavensis, respectively. Neoseiulus anonymus did not have satisfactory levels of oviposition on any type of pollen. Regarding the nematode (Protohabditis sp.), only A. tamatavensis had satisfactory level of oviposition on this prey (1.2 eggs/female/day). Based on these results, fertility life tables were constructed only for A. tamatavensis fed with Thyreophagus n. sp. and with A. ovatus. As in the oviposition test, the best performance was obtained with Thyreophagus n. sp., on which the following life table parameters were obtained: rm (0.19), T (12.8), Ro (11.47) and λ (1.2). Considering these promising results, a preliminary test for the mass rearing of A. tamatavensis was initiated using the method described by Freire and Moraes (2007). When 200 predators were initially introduced to each rearing unit, the number of predators increased 34 times within 30 days. This result indicated that A. tamatavensis may be mass produced with the use of Thyreophagus n. sp. as prey.

Abstract:
La classification actuelle de la famille des Phytoseiidae n'est pas basée sur de réelles études phylogénétiques et par conséquent, de nombreuses questions se posent sur la validité des taxa supra-spécifiques mais également vis-à-vis des taxa spécifiques. Ce travail de thèse avait donc pour objectif de répondre à de telles questions pour deux genres : Phytoseiulus et Neoseiulella, en utilisant pour la première fois des approches phylogénétiques moléculaires et morphologiques. Ces études phylogénétiques ont été également associées à des études biogéographiques. Les résultats obtenus par ces deux approches sont congruents et semblent montrer que ces deux genres ne sont pas monophylétiques : le genre Phytoseiulus semble au mieux paraphylétique, tandis que le genre Neoseiulella serait polyphylétique. Ces résultats sont différents de ceux développés dans les diverses révisions successives de ces deux taxa. Ce travail de thèse a permis de répondre également à des questionnements sur cinq synonymies au sein du genre Neoseiulella. L'étude de pratiquement tous les types des espèces du genre Neoseiulella nous a permis de redéfinir le genre, en excluant trois espèces et en discutant certaines synonymies. Une clé d'identification des adultes femelles des espèces valides a également été proposée. Des études complémentaires, notamment des analyses moléculaires, seront nécessaires afin de conclure plus définitivement sur les relations évolutives entre les taxa étudiés
The present classification of the family Phytoseiidae is not based on solid phylogenetic studies and therefore, many taxonomic questions still arise, concerning the validity of supra-specific and specific taxa identified to-date. This thesis thus aimed to answer such questions for two genera, Phytoseiulus and Neoseiulella, using for the first time molecular and morphological phylogenetic analyses. Biogeographic analyses have been also carried out. Results obtained by both morphological and molecular approaches are congruent and seem to show that both genera are not monophyletic: Phytoseiulus seems paraphyletic whereas Neoseiulella seems polyphyletic. These results are different from those obtained with previous revisions of these two taxa. Furthermore, this study allowed to conclude on five synonymies within the genus Neoseiulella. The observation of nearly the totality of the species belonging to the genus Neoseiulella permitted to redefine this genus, excluding three species and discussing some synonymies. Lastly, an identification key of the adult females was proposed for the valid species of the genus Neoseiulella. Further experiments, including molecular investigations, are however still required in order to obtain more reliable conclusions on the evolutionary relationships of the studied taxa

Abstract:
O Estado do Amazonas é o segundo maior produtor de laranja da Região Norte e apresenta capacidade para expansão da cultura. Entretanto, a oferta de frutos ainda é insuficiente e cerca de 60% dos citros consumidos no Amazonas vem de outras regiões. A importação de frutos de outras regiões facilita a entrada de novas pragas e patógenos. No entanto, a leprose, causada por um vírus transmitido pelo ácaro Brevipalpus yothersi Baker, ainda não tem sido citada como um problema para o estado. A pequena quantidade do ácaro da leprose e a presença de ácaros predadores no pomar podem ser a explicação para isto. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os níveis de ocorrência do ácaro da leprose e outros ácaros associados a este na região de Manaus, e o possível efeito de pólen de plantas comumente encontradas em pomares cítricos desta região na manutenção dos predadores fitoseídeos sobre esta cultura. Dos 1.614 ácaros coletados em plantas cítricas, 616 pertencem a grupos eminentemente predadores, 541 a grupos eminentemente fitófagos e 457 a grupos de hábitos alimentares variados. Dentre os fitófagos, B. yothersi foi a única espécie coletada pertencente à família Tenuipalpidae, com 192 espécimes. Maior diversidade foi observada para Tetranychidae, representada por quatro espécies. Dentre os predadores, Phytoseiidae foi a família mais diversa, representada por 14 espécies, e mais abundante, com 694 espécimes. Destas, duas espécies foram mais abundantes, Amblyseius aerialis Muma e Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark & Muma, tendo estas sido selecionadas para os testes conduzidos em laboratório, em que se avaliou a oviposição destes ácaros quando alimentadas com pólen de 14 espécies vegetais, um tipo de pólen disponível comercialmente e dois tipos de pólen obtidos de abelhas. Maiores níveis de oviposição de A. aerialis foram obtidos quando este foi alimentado com pólen de dendê, taboa, coco e o pólen comercial (respectivamente 1,5; 1,9; 0,9 e 0,9 ovo/fêmea/dia, respectivamente). Para I. zuluagai, os maiores níveis de oviposição foram obtidos quando alimentado com pólen de dendê, coco, taboa, pupunha e caiaué (1,6; 1,5; 1,2; 1,0 e 0,9 ovo/fêmea/dia, respectivamente). Estes pólen apresentam potencial para serem utilizados como fonte alimentar alternativa para predadores e é possível que estes tenham algum papel importante na manutenção de baixas populações de B. yothersi em pomares cítricos na região de Manaus.
The State of Amazonas is the second largest producer of orange in the northern region of Brazil, with potential to expand its production. However, supply is still insufficient; about 60% of the citrus consumed in Amazonas come from other regions. The importation of fruits from other regions facilitates the introduction of new pests and pathogens. However, the leprosis, caused by a virus transmitted by Brevipalpus yothersi Baker, the leprosis mite, has still not been cited as a problem for the state. The small amount of the leprosis mite and the presence of predatory mites in the orchard may be the explanation for this. The objective of this work was to evaluate the occurrence of the leprosis mite and other mites associated with it in Manaus region, and the possible effect of pollen of plants commonly found in citrus orchards of this region in the maintenance of phytoseiid predators in this crop. From 1,614 mites collected in citrus plants, 616 belong to predominantly predatory groups, 541 to predominantly phytophagous groups and 457 to groups of varied feeding habits. Among the phytophagous species, B. yothersi was the only representative of Tenuipalpidae, with 192 specimens. Greater diversity was observed for the Tetranychidae, represented by four species. Among predators, Phytoseiidae was the most diverse family, represented by 14 species, and most abundant, with 694 specimens. The two most abundant phytoseiid species, Amblyseius aerialis Muma and Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark and Muma, were selected for laboratory evaluations, consisting in the determination of oviposition rates on pollen of 14 plant species, one type of pollen commercially available and pollen collected by two bee species. Higher oviposition levels of A. aerialis were obtained when it was fed with oil palm, cattail, coconut and commercial pollen (1.5, 1.9, 0.9 and 0.9 egg/female/day, respectively). For I. zuluagai, highest oviposition levels were obtained when fed oil palm, coconut, cattail, peach palm and American oil pollen (1.6, 1.5, 1.2, 1.0 and 0.9 egg/female/day, respectively). These types of pollen are potentially useful as alternative food sources for those predators, and these plants may play an important role in the maintenance of low populations of B. yothersi in citrus orchards in Manaus region.

The predatory mite Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) has great potential as a biological control agent of spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). However, chemical control may adversely affect the effectiveness of this predator. An alternative that would exploit the potential presented by P. macropilis as natural enemy of spider mite would be the selection of individuals resistant to pesticides from major collections in the areas of cash crops, since these individuals would be under constant selective pressure of one or more pesticides. Thus, the objective was to identify individuals of P. macropilis resistant to acaricides abamectin and dimethoate and possible fitness cost linked to this resistance. It took account of these two pesticides with insecticide-acaricide action because they are more invested in strawberry crops in the state of Minas Gerais for the control of spider mite. To that end, this dissertation were evaluated: i) the lethal toxicity of the acaricides abamectin and dimethoate on two populations of P. macropilis, coming from a conventional farming in the region of Barbacena-MG and the other from a greenhouse on the campus of Universidade Federal de Viçosa, ii) the instantaneous rate of increase (ri), rate of predation on spider mite and capacity foraging to volatile plant infested with spider mite for the two populations of P. macropilis. It was concluded that the population collected in conventional system in the region of Barbacena showed resistance to dimethoate and that this resistance is not associated with fitness cost compared to susceptible individuals.
O ácaro predador Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) possui grande potencial como agente de controle biológico do ácaro-rajado Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). No entanto, o controle químico pode interferir negativamente na efetividade deste predador. Uma alternativa que permitiria explorar o potencial apresentado por P. macropilis como inimigo natural do ácaro-rajado seria a seleção de indivíduos resistentes aos principais pesticidas a partir de coletas em áreas de cultivos comerciais, pois estes indivíduos estariam sob pressão seletiva constante de um ou mais pesticidas. Desse modo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar indivíduos de P. macropilis resistentes aos acaricidas abamectina e dimetoato e o possível custo adaptativo ligado a esta resistência. Levou-se em consideração estes dois pesticidas com ação acaricida-inseticida por serem os mais aplicados em cultivos de morangueiro no estado de Minas Gerais para o controle do ácaro-rajado. Para tanto, nesta dissertação foram avaliados: i) A toxicidade letal dos acaricidas abamectina e dimetoato sobre duas populações de P. macropilis, uma oriunda de cultivo convencional da região de Barbacena-MG e a outra proveniente de casa de vegetação do campus da Universidade Federal de Viçosa; ii) A taxa instantânea de crescimento populacional (ri), taxa de predação sobre o ácaro-rajado e capacidade de forrageamento a voláteis de plantas infestadas com o ácaro-rajado para as duas populações de P. macropilis. Concluiu-se que a população coletada em cultivo convencional na região de Barbacena apresentou resistência a dimetoato e que esta resistência não está associada a custo adaptativo em relação a indivíduos susceptíveis.

O café constitui um dos principais produtos agrícolas mundiais devido às grandes rendas econômicas que gera nos países onde é cultivado. Nesta cultura, comumente podemos observar pragas como Brevipalpus phoenicis e doenças como Hemileia vastatrix que podem ocasionar grandes perdas econômicas, caso medidas de controle não sejam tomadas. O controle destas pragas e doenças usualmente é feito com a aplicação de agrotóxicos, que podem ocasionar problemas tanto nas pragas que se deseja atingir (resistência) como nos inimigos naturais que podem ser afetados indiretamente. O controle biológico torna-se uma opção viável para a diminuição do uso de agrotóxicos e o ácaros predadores fitoseídeos são objeto de muitas pesquisas sobre sua capacidade de explorar diversos recursos na sua alimentação e sua aplicabilidade nesse tipo de controle. O predador Ricoseius loxocheles (Ácari: Phytoseiidae) tem a capacidade de se alimentar e carregar esporos de ferrugem do cafeeiro e por ser membro de uma família de ácaros predadores possui potencial para agente de controle biológico. No entanto, pouca informação existe sobre sua função ecológica no sistema cafeeiro. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do estudo foi determinar a capacidade predatória de R. loxocheles sobre B. phoenicis e o desempenho do fitoseídeo em diferentes fontes alternativas de alimento avaliando sua sobrevivência e reprodução. Os resultados mostraram que o ácaro B. phoenicis não representa uma presa potencial para o fitoseídeo R. loxocheles, já que o sucesso reprodutivo desse ácaro predador foi negativo quando unicamente tinha a presença da praga, ocasionando a morte do fitoseídeo. O crescimento populacional (ri) de R. loxocheles foi positivo em mudas de café infectadas por ferrugem. Adicionalmente, foi demonstrado que o ácaro aproveita diversos recursos alimentícios alternativos, como ferrugem de café, ferrugem de trevo e o pólen de taboa para seu sucesso reprodutivo. Das fontes testadas, apenas o pólen apícola foi o único recurso não viável que reduziu a oviposição e ocasionou a sua morte.
Coffee is one of the main crops in the world, due to the large economic importance that generates in the countries where it is cultivated. This culture is commonly attacked by some pests and diseases, such as Brevipalpus phoenicis and Hemileia vastatrix, respectively, that can produce great economic losses if a not appropriate control is used. The control of these pests and diseases is usually done applying chemicals products that can cause several problems: the target pests can become resistant and the natural enemies can be also indirectly affected. So, biological control becomes a viable option for the reduction of pesticide use, considering that the phytoseiids has been the subject of many studies due their ability to explore various food sources. The phytoseiid mite Ricoseius loxocheles (Acari: Phytoseiidae) has the ability to feed and carry coffee leaf rust spores. However, the little information about this behavior limits to understand their role in agricultural systems, especially in the coffee crops. Then, the objective of this study was to evaluate the predatory ability of R. loxocheles on B. phoenicis and the performance (survival and reproduction) of this phytoseiid on different food sources. The results showed that B. phoenicis does not represent a potential prey for R. loxocheles, considering that the reproductive success of this predatory mite was negative when this pest was the diet, resulting in the death of the phytoseiid. Population growth (ri) of R. loxocheles was positive on coffee plants infected by the rust, but the mite had also good population performance on several alternative food resources, such as coffee rust, rust clover and the cattail pollen for their reproductive success. However, from all alternative food sources tested bee pollen was the only non-viable resource that reduced oviposition of R. loxocheles and caused the death of the phytoseiid mite.

Abstract:
O morangueiro, Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne, tem sido extensivamente cultivado no sul de Minas Gerais. O ataque de pragas e a incidência de doenças tem causado prejuízos aos produtores dessa região. O ácaro rajado, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), tem sido considerado a principal praga do morangueiro nessa região, onde é controlado principalmente com o uso de acaricidas sintéticos, que nem sempre apresentam resultados satisfatórios, aparentemente devido à seleção de populações resistentes. Ácaros da família Phytoseiidae são os predadores predominantes de outros ácaros em plantas cultivadas e da vegetação natural. São hoje conhecidas em todo mundo cerca de 2.700 espécies, quase 200 das quais tem sido encontradas no Brasil. Também são encontrados no cultivo do morangueiro no sul de Minas Gerais, porém nada se sabe sobre sua ocorrência em plantas da vegetação natural que circundam estes cultivos. Alguns estudos tem sido realizados nessa região para a implementação das práticas de controle biológico de ácaros em cultivos de morango. Os objetivos do presente estudo foram: a) comparar os níveis populacionais do ácaro rajado em cultivos representativos dos sistemas de produção orgânico e convencional do sul de Minas Gerais; b) determinar a semelhança da fauna de fitoseídeos de morangueiro cultivados organicamente e da vegetação natural circundante c) demonstrar a possibilidade de produzir morangos sem a utilização de agrotóxicos nesta região. Para a primeira parte do estudo, foram selecionados dois produtores de morangueiro em cada um de três municípios, um deles adotando o sistema convencional e o outro, o sistema orgânico. Não houve diferença estatística entre as médias dos níveis populacionais do ácaro rajado nos cultivos orgânicos e convencionais. Neoseiulus califonicus (McGregor), Neoseiulus anonymus (Chant) e Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) foram encontrados em morangueiro e também em plantas da vegetação natural. Os resultados sugeriram que N. anonymus possa ser mais apropriado que N. californicus para o controle do ácaro rajado na região de Cambuí. Na segunda parte do trabalho, avaliou-se o efeito de diferentes tratamentos sobre a população do ácaro rajado em um plantio estabelecido em Inconfidentes, estado de Minas Gerais. Os tratamentos consistiram da aplicação dos fungos Isaria fumosorosea Wize e Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill, de N. anonymus, do adjuvante KBRAdj, de abamectina e de um tratamento controle. Apesar dos baixos níveis de ocorrência do ácaro rajado em todos tratamentos, o número de acaro rajado no tratamento correspondente à liberação de N. anonymus foi significativamente menor que no tratamento correspondente à aplicação de abamectina. A realização deste trabalho permitiu as seguintes conclusões: a) a densidade populacional do ácaro rajado é aproximadamente a mesma em cultivos orgânicos e convencionais; b) a diversidade de ácaros predadores no cultivo orgânico é maior que no cultivo convencional; c) a vegetação nas proximidades cultivos do morangueiro é importante como abrigo aos ácaros predadores encontrados naquele cultivo; d) é possível a produção de morangos no sul de Minas Gerais sem o uso de acaricidas sintéticos.
Strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne, has been extensively cultivated in southern Minas Gerais. Pest and disease outbreaks have caused losses to growers in this region. Two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), has been considered a major pest of strawberry in this region, where it is mainly controlled with the use of synthetic acaricides, producing results not always satisfactory, apparently due to the selection of resistant populations. Mites of the family Phytoseiidae are the predominant predators of other mites in crops and on plants of the natural vegetation. About 2,700 phytoseiid species are presently known, of which nearly 200 have been found in Brazil. These are also found on strawberry in southern Minas Gerais, but nothing is known about their occurrence in plants of the natural vegetation surrounding these crops. Some studies have been conducted in that region for the implementation of practical biological control of twospotted spider mite on strawberry. The objectives of this study were: a) to compare twospotted spider mite population levels on representative plantations of organic and conventional production systems; b) to determine the similarity of the phytoseiid fauna on strawberry crops grown organically and in the natural vegetation surrounding them; c) to demonstrate the ability to grow strawberry without the use of pesticides in this region. For the first part of the study, two strawberry growers were selected in each of three municipalities, one adopting the conventional growing system and the other the organic producing system. Difference between mean two-spotted spider mite population levels in those systems was not statistically significant. Neoseiulus califonicus (McGregor), Neoseiulus anonymus (Chant) and Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) were found on strawberry plants and also in the natural vegetation. The results suggested that N. anonymus may be more appropriate than N. californicus for spider mite control in Cambuí. In the second part of the study, the effect of different treatments on spider mite population in were evaluated in crop established in Inconfidentes, state of Minas Gerais. The treatments consisted of the application of the fungi Isaria fumosorosea Wize and Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill , of N. anonymus , of the adjuvant KBRAdj , of abamectina and a control treatment. Despite the low levels of occurrence of mite in all treatments, the number of two-spotted spider mite in the plots where N. anonymus was released was significantly lower than in the plots treated with Abamectina. This work led to the following conclusions: a) the population density of the mite is approximately the same in plantations of organic and conventional production systems; b) the diversity of predatory mites in fields of organic cultivation is higher than in fields of conventional cultivation; c) the vegetation in the vicinity of strawberry fields is important as reservoir of the predatory mites found in strawberry fields; d) Strawberry production in southern Minas Gerais can be done without the use of synthetic acaricides.

Resumo: Phytoseiidae é uma família de ácaros considerados predadores, sendo alguns desses amplamente utilizados em programas de controle biológico em várias regiões do globo terrestre. No entanto, considerada a diversidade do grupo, pouco se sabe a respeito das características ecobiológicas das espécies. Dessa maneira, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo geral investigar os parâmetros biológicos de duas espécies: Amblyseius aerialis Muma e Amblyseius chiapensis DeLeon, através de dois experimentos. O primeiro, para observar a oviposição dessas espécies com diferentes alimentos, incluindo varias possíveis presas, e o segundo para avaliar todo ciclo biológico com o alimento mais favorável. No primeiro caso, o objetivo foi observar os alimentos utilizados, e se há ou não semelhanças no padrão das dietas desses dois fitoseídeos. No segundo, o objetivo foi determinar os parâmetros de desenvolvimento e reprodução das espécies, visando à possibilidade do seu uso como agente de controle biológico em relação à presa utilizada como alimento. Os testes de oviposição consistiram da avaliação da oviposição média em um período de seis dias. Os dados mostram um padrão de alimentação diferente para as duas espécies avaliadas, principalmente em relação aos prováveis alimentos preferenciais, uma vez que dois dos alimentos mais favoráveis à oviposição de A. chiapensis - Tetranychus urticae Koch e Lorryia formosa Cooreman- proporcionaram oviposições praticamente insignificantes para A. aerialis.

Abstract: Phytoseiidae is a family which includes mites considered predators, some of which are widely used in biological control programs around the world. However, considering the diversity of the group little is known about the biological features. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the biological parameters of two species: Amblyseius aerialis Muma and Amblyseius chiapensis Cooreman, through two experiments. The first to observe the oviposition of these species with different foods, including several probable prey, and a second to evaluate the whole biological cycle with the most favorable food. In the first case the objective was to observe the foods used, and whether or not there are similarities in the pattern of the diets of these two phytoseiids. In the second, the objective was to determine the development and reproduction parameters of the species, aiming their use as biological control agent in relation to prey used as food. The oviposition tests consisted of evaluation of oviposition in a period of six days. The results showed a different feeding pattern for the two species tested, especially in relation to the probable preferential foods, since two of the foods most favorable to oviposition of A. chiapensis - Tetranychus urticae Koch and Lorryia formosa Cooremanprovide almost negligible ovipositions for A. aerialis. To evaluate more detailed biological parameters, each species of phytoseiid was submitted to a biological test offering the prey that provided the best result in the oviposition test as food. Our results show that both A. aerialis and A. chiapensis are predators capable of developing and ovipositing feeding on prey Raoiella indica Hirst and T. urticae, respectively. Due to the wide geographical distribution and frequency in which both predators are found in nature, we suggest that they may play an important role in the natural control of these preys.

O cafeeiro apresenta perdas econômicas devido a pragas e doenças. Entre as pragas, os ácaros fitófagos merecem atenção devido à redução da área fotossintética. Além dos danos dos ácaros, alguns patógenos também atacam plantas de café como a ferrugem-do-cafeeiro, Hemileia vastatrix (Uredinales). Este patógeno causa perdas de produtividade de 30% em algumas variedades de Coffea arabica. Ácaros da família Phytoseiidae normalmente controlam populações de ácaros fitófagos e podem desenvolver-se e reproduzirem usando diversas fontes alimentares, além dos ácaros presa. Dentro da família Phytoseiidae, que é composto por ácaros carnívoros e os que se alimentam de pólen, em levantamentos foi encontrado a espécie Ricoseius loxocheles (De Leon) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) sobre áreas de necrose causada pela ferrugem do cafeeiro, durante sua fase reprodutiva. Existem poucas informações sobre o seu desenvolvimento, parâmetros biológicos e hábitos alimentares. Avaliou-se a taxonomia, desenvolvimento, parâmetros de sobrevivência e reprodução de R. loxocheles alimentando-se de urediosporos da ferrugem do cafeeiro e sua capacidade predatória e sucesso reprodutivo sobre Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor, 1971). Uredosporos da ferrugem-do-cafeeiro apoiaram a sobrevivência, desenvolvimento e reprodução do ácaro fitoseídeo estudado e este não foi capaz de predar O. ilicis. A sobrevivência e oviposição de R. loxocheles só foi observada quando este ácaro alimentou-se de ferrugem. Em arenas sem o fungo esses parâmetros foram iguais as arenas sem alimento. A reprodução tem a exigência nutricional mais elevada do que o desenvolvimento. R. loxocheles alimentados com ferrugem obteve parâmetros reprodutivos mais elevados do que outros fitoseídeos alimentados em outros fungos, alguns ácaros ou pólen. Conclui-se que este ácaro é um fitoseídeo generalista e são necessários mais estudos para medir a capacidade de alimentarem-se em outras fontes alimentares, tais como ácaros fitófagos pragas do cafeeiro. É possível que R. loxocheles tenha um papel no controle da ferrugem do cafeeiro, uma vez que se alimenta de uma grande quantidade de uredosporos da ferrugem.
Coffee crops have economic losses due pests and diseases. Among them, the phytophagous mites deserve attention due to the reducing photosynthetic area caused on the leaves. Besides of mite damages, some pathogens also attack coffee plants, as the coffee rust fungus, Hemileia vastatrix (Uredinales). This pathogen cause yield losses around 30% in some varieties of Coffea arabica. Predatory mites from the Phytoseiidae family normally control phytophagous mites and can develop and reproduce using various alternative food sources than their primary prey, tetranychid mites. Within the Phytoseiidae family that is composed by carnivorous and pollen-feeding mites, we surveyed in the field the species Ricoseius loxocheles (De Leon) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on the necrosis area caused by coffee rust during its reproductive phase. Searching in the literature showed that there is little information related to this mite development, biological parameters and feeding habits. So, this study was carried out to assess the taxonomy, development, survivorship and reproduction parameters of R. loxocheles feeding on coffee rust fungus, its predation capacity on Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor, 1971) and its reproductive success. Coffee rust supported the survival, development and reproduction of the phytoseiid mite and that it was not able to feed on different stages of O. ilicis. Survival and oviposition of R. loxocheles was only observed when this mite was in arenas with fungi. In arenas without fungi these parameters were equal as arenas without food. It is known that reproduction has a higher nutritional requirement than development. The fertility of R. loxocheles fed on coffee rust is highest that the other phytoseiid fed in others fungi or some mites or pollen. We suggest that this mite is a phytoseiid generalist and it is necessary more studies to measure the ability of this mite specie to feed on other food sources, such as herbivore mites pests of coffee crops. It is possible that R. loxocheles has a role in the control of coffee rust since it feeds on a large amount of rust uredospore.

A lichia é uma fruta de grande valor econômico. A cultura da lichia pode ser muito danificada pela infestação do ácaro Aceria litchii (Keifer), sua principal praga. Pouco se conhece sobre os padrões de ocorrência e de diversidade de comunidades de ácaros associados a essa cultura no Brasil, sendo que esse conhecimento é básico e imprescindível na elaboração de propostas de manejo dessa praga. O presente trabalho teve por objetivos acompanhar a ocorrência de A. litchii em plantas de lichia no município de Casa Branca, estado de São Paulo, caracterizar os sintomas de danos decorrentes do seu desenvolvimento e identificar possíveis agentes de controle biológico dessa praga. A ocorrência de A. litchii e os danos provocados foram acompanhados em quatro árvores adultas, de 12 anos de idade, da variedade Bengal. Para isso, mensalmente, de cada planta, foram coletadas quatro extremidades de ramo com aproximadamente 0,5 m de comprimento, no período de agosto de 2008 a agosto de 2009. Os ácaros predadores foram avaliados em dois ramos de 0,30 m de comprimento. As variáveis consideradas para A. litchii foram: porcentagem de folhas atacadas, número de galhas nas folhas, número de ácaros em galhas presentes em folhas e gemas. Os predadores foram montados em lâmina de microscopia, identificados e contados. Nas galhas foram observadas formas brancas e vermelhas, ambas identificadas como A. litchii. A maior quantidade das duas formas foi registrada em outubro de 2008, com o número de formas vermelhas superando o de brancas. Ambas foram registradas em maior quantidade em folhas novas. Formas brancas em folhas novas apresentaram correlação negativa com o aumento da temperatura e da evapotranspiração. A infestação de A. litchii resultou em intensa erinose. Inicialmente surgiram eríneos claros na página inferior das folhas novas, que...
The lychee is a fruit of great economic value. The culture of litchi can be very damaged by the infestation of the Aceria litchii (Keifer) mite, their main pest. Little is known about the patterns of occurrence and diversity of communities of mites associated with this crop in Brazil, and this knowledge is basic and essential in preparing proposals for the management of this pest. The work objectives were study the occurrence of A. litchii on litchi plants in the municipality of Casa Branca, state of Sao Paulo, to characterize the symptoms of damage resulting from its development and identify possible biological control agents of this pest. The occurrence of A. litchii and the damage caused were observed in four adult 12-year-old trees of the Bengal variety. For this four branch extremities, approximately 0.5 m long, were collected every month from each plant from August 2008 to August 2009. The predators mites were evaluate on two branches, 0.3 m long. The variables considered for A. litchii were: percentage of attacked leaves, number of galls on the leaves, number of mites present in galls on leaves and buds. Predators were mounted on microscope slide, identified and counted. In the galls were observed red and white forms, both identified as A. litchii. The greatest amount of both forms was recorded in October 2008, with the number of the red forms overcoming of the white forms. Both were recorded in larger amounts in young leaves. White forms in young leaves were negatively correlated with increasing temperature and evapotranspiration. The infestation of A. litchii resulted in intense erinose. Initially erineos were clear on the underside of young leaves, and were gradually darkening and taking the leaf surface. Galls with erineos clear were positively correlated with the number of white forms in young leaves, indicating that these... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
