The present study was directed towards the habitat of various mite species as predators, fungivores or as parasites associated with insects inhabiting grains and stored products. Samples were collected monthly from maize, wheat flour, broad bean, wheat and rough rice in four governorates, Kafr El-Sheikh, Dakahleya, Gharbeya and Menoufeya during the period between March 2003 and February 2004. The results revealed that: 1) The mite survey revealed the occurrence of 13 predatory species belonging to one family of the suborder Gamasida, and 6 families of the suborder Actinedida. Also 7 species belong to 4 families of the suborder Acaridida, were recorded as scavengers or fungivores. 2) The most abundant predaceous mites were: Blattisocius keegani Fox followed by Cheyletus malaccensis Oudemans, then Blattisocius tarsalis (Berlese). 3) The most abundant fungivore mites were: Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Shranck), Rhizoglyphus robini Claparède, and Acarus siro Linnaeus. 4) The most infested stored grains with mites was maize followed by wheat, rough rice, broad bean seeds then wheat flour. 5) The major insect pests of stored grains and seeds and associated mites were listed herein.

Mite survey proved the occurrence of thirty-six species of mites belonging to 30 genera in 19 families and four suborders recorded in association with different organic manures at El-Menofia Governorate during (January 2014-January 2016). The suborder Acaridida was represented by the families Acaridae, Glycyphagidae and Chortoglyphidae. The suborder Actinedida was represented by Cheyletidae, Tarsonemidae, Bdellidae, Rhagididae, Scutacaridae, Cunaxidae, and Eupodidae. On the other hand, the suborder Gamasida was recorded by the families Pachylaelapidae, Ameroseiidae, Ascidae, Macrochelidae, Laelapidae, Uropodidae and Ologamasidae, while the oribatid mites were represented by both families Oribatulidae and Oppiidae. The most abundant family in this study was Acaridae (Acaridida) which was represented by different 5 mite species. Also, family Cheyletidae (Actinedid) was the second abundant mites group in this study and included different 4 mite species. Based on the abundance, Rhizoglyphus echinopus, Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Acaridida); Cheyletus malaccensis, C. eruditus, Cunaxa capreolus, Eupodes aegypticus (Actinedida) and Kleemenia plumosus (Gamasida) and Oppia sticta (Oribatida) were the most dominant species in this study. It was noticed that the pigeon organic manure harboured the most collected mites, which included 33 different species, while the chicken organic manures harboured 18 different mites, but the duck manure harboured 7 mite species.

“…In Egypt, some investigators studied the mite fauna in stored products (Wafa et al 1966a(Wafa et al & 1966bZaher & Soliman, 1971;Hafez;1977;Zaher et al 1986 andHoda et al 1990). Ten predatory species belonging to two orders and three families were collected from stored food materials.…”

“…(Hafez, 1977). Zaher et al (1986) mentioned that 24 species belonging to three suborder and 13 families were found in seeds, grains and other stored products taken from granaries and flour mills. Members of Cheyletidae and Acaridae were the most common mites.…”

Twenty one mite species belonging to 3 suborders and 11 families were found in grain residues and mixed flour samples collected from warehouses and mills at Great Cairo. They were 12 pest species, 7 predatory and 2 parasitic species. Species commonly found in all inspected materials at all locations were Dermatophagoides farinae Hughes, Tyrophagous putrescentiae (Sch.) and Cheyletus malaccensis Oud. However Acrus siro (Lin), Acarophenax tribolii (New.) and Pyemotes herfsi (Oud.) were often abundant. The remaining species occurred sporadically in the collected materials. Actinedid and acaridid mites were "dominant" and "constant" in mixed flour and grain residues samples, the second group was the most abundant. Whereas gamasid mites was "recedent" and "accidental". Mixed flour taken from Qaliobia Governorate harboured the highest number of mite species (15 species) followed by grain residues from Giza Governorate (13 species). While grain residues taken from Cairo Governorate harboured the lowest number (5 species).The highest infestation level with mites (2677.3 individuals) was recorded in mixed flour at Qaliobia Governorate, while the lowest one (1067 individuals) was found in grain residues at Cairo Governorate. Generally, mixed flour harboured more mite species than grain residues. Most of the collected mite species occurred during autumn and winter except P. herfsi and A. tribolii which were recorded during spring and summer, respectively. Dominance and frequency of occurrence, population fluctuations, effect of temperature and relative humidity on the population dynamics, also the relation between the predators and pests of mites were discussed in details.
