“…Remarks -The description and measurements of the adult females collected agree with those provided by Döker et al (2018) for specimens from Turkey. This species has a wide distribution in Africa and South Europe and around the Mediterranean Sea (Swirski and Amitai, 1997b; Moraes et al, 2004a; Sahraoui et al, 2012.…”

Several phytoseiid species are excellent biological control agents for suppressing mite pest populations in many crops and preventing yield losses. This paper aims to improve the knowledge of Phytoseiidae diversity in citrus orchards and argan forest in central western Morocco. The surveys were conducted between April and October during three successive years (2017–2019), in nine conventional citrus orchards covering an area of more than 3,000 hectares and on uncultivated plants in argan forest at an altitude ranging from 150 to 700 meters. Twenty-nine species belonging to 15 genera were found, seven of them being new for the Moroccan fauna: Amblyseius largoensis, A. swirskii, Amblyseiella setosa, Euseius batus, E. dossei, Paragigagnathus molestus, and Cydnoseius negevi. Species of nine genera were found on citrus leaves: Neoseiulus, Amblyseius, Amblyseiella, Transeius, Phytoseiulus, Euseius, Phytoseius, Typhlodromus, and Paraseiulus. Stah AlMadina (24.8%), Ouled Abdellah (15.9%), Nour (14.3%) domains contained a high number (more than 60.2%) of individuals in the collected samples. Malva parviflora, Convolvulus althaeoides, Solanum nigrum, Bryonia dioica, Withania somnifera would be interesting companion plants to be associated in the inter-rows in citrus orchards in this region to ensure sustainability, because they host high densities and diversities of Phytoseiidae. A key of females of all recorded Moroccan species until now is provided.

Functional and numerical responses of the predatory mite, Iphiseius degenerans (Berlese) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) to four different biological stages (egg, larva, protonymph and adult male) of the citrus brown mite, Eutetranychus orientalis (Klein) (Acari: Tetranychidae) were determined under laboratory conditions. In the experiments, six different prey densities (5, 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80) for each biological stage of the prey were provided to the predatory mite for 24 hours. Results showed that the proportion of prey consumption of I. degenerans decelerated with increasing prey densities of all biological stages of the prey. Logistic regression analysis indicated that I. degenerans showed a Type II functional response regardless of prey stage. The attack rate (α) and the handling time (Th) varied based on the biological stages. The highest α (1.596) and the lowest Th (0.014) values were determined when the predator fed on adult males and larvae of E. orientalis, respectively. The numerical response curves were similar to those of Type II functional response. The efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI) of female I. degenerans decreased on all biological stages when prey density increased. The highest and the lowest average daily mean number of eggs laid by I. degenerans were found as 0.45 and 1.90 when it fed on eggs and larvae of its prey, respectively. According to the results, I. degenerans has a potential to be used as a predator in biological control of E. orientalis.

Amblyseius swirskii is one of the most important phytoseiid mites commercialized worldwide for controlling pest mites and small insect pests. The study aims to investigate morphological and genetic variation among seven populations collected from different locations and plant species (cotton, orange) in Türkiye. The DNA sequences (12S rRNA and Cytb mitochondrial DNA markers) were also compared with those of commercial populations. The average genetic distance among the Turkish populations was quite low (0.7% for 12S rRNA and 0.9% for Cytb mtDNA), ranging from 0 to 2.8% and 0 to 1.5%, respectively. The phylogenetic trees show two distinct groups, separated by genetic distances of 0.9% and 1.3% for the 12S rRNA and the Cytb mtDNA fragments, respectively. The genetic differences were not explained by location or host plant. However, specimens from some populations were exclusively or predominantly included in one of the two clades, and commercialized specimens of A. swirskii only included in one clade, along with specimens collected in orange orchards. Specimens from cotton fields and Solanum nigrum, were found in both clades, but in different proportions. Results show a globally low genetic diversity within A. swirskii for the two DNA fragments. The existence of two clades raises questions about the presence of a clade derived from commercial releases. However, this result may be related to other factors. Morphological analyses demonstrated substantial variability among the populations, except for the population sampled from orange in Adana Kozan. Despite this, the morphological and molecular results are relatively consistent.
