“…(Hernandes & Feres 2006), jatobá (Hymenaea martiana Hayne, Fabaceae) (Feres et al 2010), and citrus (Rutaceae) (Vela et al 2017) bioecological aspects of tydeids are poorly understood for most species; perhaps, for this reason, their importance is underestimated; however, they can play a significant role as alternative prey for phytoseiids and other predators (Pallini Filho et al 1992;Vela et al 2017). Furthermore, studies have reported tydeid-fungi associations causing plant diseases, where these mites probably feed on these fungi (Pemberton & Turner 1989;Mendes et al 2021).…”

Effective management of arthropod communities in agricultural environments requires knowledge of the diversity and distribution of species that inhabit host crops. Therefore, we conducted this study to evaluate the richness, abundance, and intra-plant distribution of the most abundant mite species in mango plants. Leaves or reproductive structures were collected monthly considering the different canopy quadrants (North, South, East, and West), the position of the branch (basal, median, and apical), and, in the case of leaves, their position on the branch (basal, median, and apical). A total of 28 species belonging to 12 mite families were identified. Cisaberoptus kenyae, Vilaia pamithus, and Oligonychus mangiferus were the most abundant phytophagous species, accounting for 87%, 6%, and 3% of the total number of mites collected, respectively. Vilaia pamithus was the most abundant species in the southern quadrant. Amblyseius largoensis (Phytoseiidae) and Cunaxa sp1. (Cunaxidae) were the most abundant among the predators (15.1% and 13.1%, respectively). The highest level of diversity was observed in the basal and median leaves of the basal and median branches of mangoes. The intra-plant distribution of these species was influenced by plant architecture and geographical position. Most species were found on mango leaves, whereas other species colonized inflorescences and/or fruits, but at low densities. In this study, we found considerable diversity of phytophagous and predator mites in mango plants. These predator mites may be crucial for controlling mango pests.

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.
