“…In Brazil, there are few reports of mites associated with lima bean. The following species were reported: Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) and Eutetranychus banksi (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae), in the Federal District and Teresina-PI (Mendonça et al 2011;Gomes Neto et al 2017;França et al 2018) and Tetranychus gloveri Bank, 1900 and Tetranychus tumidus Banks, 1900 on Bahia, Tetranychus ludeni Zacher and Tetranychus mexicanus (Mc-Gregor 1950) in São Paulo (Flechtmann and Moraes 2017).…”

Pest mites of the family Tetranychidae are commonly reported in several legumes. However, reports of their occurrence in lima beans are insipient, especially in Brazil. The objective of this research was to record the occurrence of mites in lima bean plants and to describe their damage in this Fabaceae. Tetranychus neocaledonicus André and Mononychellus planki McGregor were found in lima bean plants, Phaseolus lunatus (Fabaceae or Leguminosae). The lima bean plants, when infested by these mites, initially exhibit small whitish spots in the leaflets, which with increasing population density rapidly evolve into chlorotic patches, followed by silvering, and may dry out and fall due to their overfeeding. The extent of the damage caused to lima bean plants and the adaptability of the mite to warm and dry conditions indicate that T. neocaledonicus has greater potential as a lima bean pest than M. planki in northeastern Brazil. This is the first record of these mites associated with P. lunatus.

Phytoseiidae is composed of essentially predatory mites most commonly found on the aerial plant parts. Presently, it is considered to contain about 2,650 valid species, divided into nearly 102 genera of three subfamilies: Amblyseiinae, Phytoseiinae and Typhlodrominae. Approximately 250 of those have been reported from Brazil. Amblyseiinae is the largest subfamily, with about 65% of the described species. This publication summarises the morphologic, taxonomic and distributional information of the Amblyseiinae reported from Brazil, in support of future research on their conservation and practical use. A total of 195 valid species of 29 genera of Amblyseiinae is listed in this publication, 121 of which were described from this country, including seven species which are most certainly incorrect reports, based on the present state of knowledge. Two new combinations are proposed: one in Amblyseius, Amblyseius malvus (Denmark & Evans), and one in Transeius, Transeius piracicabae (Denmark & Muma). Six new synonyms are proposed (Chelaseius lativentris Karg, T. piracicabae, Euseius errabundus De Leon, Typhloromalus clavicus Denmark & Muma, Typhlodromips fordycei (De Leon) and Typhlodromips mangleae De Leon, as senior synonyms of Chelaseius brazilensis Denmark & Kolodochka, Transeius gervasioi Rocha, Silva & Ferla, Euseius plaudus Denmark & Muma, Typhlodromalus simus Denmark & Muma, Typhlodromips igapo Nuvoloni, Lofego, Rezende & Feres and Typhlodromips pederosus El-Banhawy, respectively). A key is provided to help in the separation of the species reported. So far, the most diverse genera in Brazil (followed by the number of species reported) are: Amblyseius Berlese (48), Neoseiulus Hughes (23), Typhlodromips De Leon (22), Iphiseiodes De Leon (14), Amblydromalus Chant & McMurtry (13) and Euseius Wainstein (12). The highest number of species is reported from the southeastern region (119 species), followed by the northeastern (82), the northern (68), the southern (65) and the midwestern (52). The states with highest numbers of registered species are São Paulo (109), Bahia (70), Rio Grande do Sul (62), Amazonas (47), Pernambuco (44) and Minas Gerais (43), while those with lowest numbers are Rio Grande do Norte (16), Sergipe (12), Pará (12), Rondônia (7) and Amapá (5). At least in part, those differences might be related to the dedicated searching effort.

Predatory species comprise a small but important and often overlooked component of the Thysanoptera. A case in point, the ant-mimicking Franklinothrips are widely distributed in the tropics and are considered important generalist natural enemies for thrips and some other small arthropod prey. Franklinothrips present an addition to biocontrol applications, i.e., greenhouse or commercial application for certain target pests and situations. Current knowledge, including distribution, biological features, life history pa rameters, prey specificity, host plant associations and lass production is yet insufficient to decide to what extent Franklinothrips could contribute for biological control programs. In this review, we summarized the geographical background, morphology, and prey associations, with a focus on F. vespiformis, the most widely distributed species of predatory thrips. This literature review serves as the basis for future research into the use of Franklinothrips as biocontrol agents for economically significant insect and mite pests in China and elsewhere.
