“…One of them is Pentamerismus taxi (Haller) (Tenuipalpidae), a false spider mite belonging to the superfamily Tetranychoidea in the order Prostigmata. This flattened red mite is commonly found on many wild and ornamental plants of the genus Taxus, growing in Europe and Asia [1][2][3][4][5][6]. According Bondareva and Chumak [6] this species' status as an invasive pest is growing due to climate change.…”

Development, survival and reproduction of Ambyseius andersoni (Chant), a predatory mite widely distributed in Europe, were assessed on different food items. These included two key pests of ornamental coniferous plants, i.e., Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi) and Pentamerismus taxi (Haller) and pollen of Pinus sylvestris L. The rationale behind these experiments was to provide a preliminary assessment of the potential of A. andersoni as a biocontrol agent of the above phytophagous arthropods and evaluate pine pollen as an alternative food source for the predator. Under laboratory conditions (23 ± 0.5 °C, 70 ± 10% RH and 16L:8D) A. andersoni was able to feed, develop and reproduce on all tested diets. The shortest development time (egg to female) was obtained when the predator fed on P. taxi (mean = 5.12 d) and the longest was on pine pollen (mean = 6.55 d). The rm value was significantly higher on both tested prey (0.166 on P. taxi and 0.160 on O. ununguis) than on pollen (0.139). Thus, we do not recommend pine pollen for mass rearing of A. andersoni; however, we conclude that pollen may provide sufficient sustenance for the predator population under field conditions when prey are absent. The potential of A. andersoni as a biocontrol agent of O. ununguis and P. taxi is discussed.

“…In Ukraine, by the data of Livshits, Mitrofanov (1973), only four species of this genus have been identifi ed. Th e new cucujus is distributed in Japan, USA, Switzerland, Armenia, Korea (Lee Won-Koo and Lee Jeong-Sang, 1992), Georgia (Arabuli, 2015) and Turkey (Cobanoglu, Ueckermann and Saglam, 2016). In Ukraine it occurs in the parks of the southern coast of the Crimea, where it is a dangerous pest (Livshits, Mitrofanov, 1973).…”

Brevipalpus contains about 290 species, some of which are considered of economic importance. In spite of their agricultural importance, the species diversity is scarcely known in several regions around the world, notably on wild plants. In this work a new species collected on an endemic ivy of the Azores Archipelago, Hedera azorica Carrière (Araliaceae), is described based on an integrative approach using morphological traits of the adults, obtained through electron and light microscopy, and molecular characters based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted in order to produce reliable phylogenetic placement of the new species, which is tentatively classified in the B. portalis species group. Morphological similarities between the new species and B. cuneatus Canestrini and Fanzago point out to some inconsistencies in the current morphological classification of Brevipalpus species, especially in the definition of the B. cuneatus group, herein discussed.
