“…The morphological characteristics considered were those currently used for the identification of phytoseiid mites [3] ; specifically, continuous variables used to distinguish species belonging to the tribu Euseiini [20] . In our study we did not measure individuals belonging to the species Iphiseius degenerans due to 1) this species has very small setae and 2) can be identified quite easily.…”

According to the last revised catalogue of the mite family Phytoseiidae and the online Phytoseiidae database, only six species of predatory mites have been identified to date in the Republic of Congo (RC). Two species were reported on cassava (Manihot esculenta), two on coffee (Coffea spp.), one on lemon (Citrus spp.), and one on unidentified plants. In this study, we catalogued predatory mites on five plants of economic interest in the RC. Two hundred and forty-seven mite specimens were collected on Manihot esculenta, Solanum lycopersicum, Solanum melongena, Abelmoschus esculentus, and Capsicum spp. Traditional taxonomy was used to identify the collected specimens. The morphological characteristics of the females were analyzed, including the lengths of the dorsal setae, presence or absence of dorsal and ventrianal setae, shape of insemination apparatus, leg chaetotaxy, and cheliceral dentition. Six species belonging to two subfamilies (Phytoseiinae and Amblyseiinae) and five genera (Amblyseius, Euseius, Paraphytoseius, Phytoseius, and Iphiseius) were identified. Among these six species, only one had previously been observed in the RC; the remaining five species are reported.

“…nov. belonging to the tribe Euseiini were collected from three host plants : cassava, chilli, and okra in RC. This tribe is the third most diverse with 271 species, the genus (Euseius De Leon) accounting for 73% of the species (Santos and Tixier 2018). These specimens were morphologically compared to two species E. fustis and E. neodossei.…”

Several individuals belonging to the genus Euseius, have been collected from three host plants (cassava, okra, and chilli) in the Republic of the Congo. Previous molecular and morphological analysis (integrative approach) have shown that 1) morphological differences existed between the Euseius sp. and both E. neodossei and E. fustis, and 2) both mitochondrial DNA fragments considered (i.e., 12S rRNA and ITSS) showed a clear delineation between Euseius sp. and E. fustis. It was not possible to compare these species with E. neodossei (a morphologically close species) owing to the lack of DNA sequences in GenBank for this species. The purpose of this study was to describe a news species Euseius congolensis sp. nov from Republic of the Congo.

Predatory and parasitic mites are likely to assume a greater role in crop protection as world attention is now focused on finding out alternative means of agricultural pest management, and some may be beneficial in the medical and veterinary fields. This review on the status of research on predatory and parasitic mites in India is written in the light of the recent push for introduction of exotic phytoseiid mites into the country. It provides an overview of the predatory mites associated with agri-horticultural crops as well as of some insects of public health importance in India and also of some known from outside the country for appreciating their potential. It has information on predatory mites representing 27 families under three orders, viz. Mesostigmata, Trombidiformes (suborder Prostigmata), Sarcoptiformes (suborder Oribatida, cohort Astigmatina and also cohort excluding Astigmatina). Since phytoseiid mites are the most dominant, highly effective, economically important and widespread predators, the major emphasis has been laid on this family.
