“…Numerous reports indicate that hot, dry weather is conducive to outbreaks of tetranychids (Ewing, 1914;Garman, 1923;Frost, 1924;Hamilton, 1926;Andersen, 1947). These early observa tions, and later ones, have at times been based on abundance of mites, at other times on levels of injury.…”

“…Injury by mites is related to many un predictable variables, including the in tensity of attack, weather conditions, either concurrent or immediately follow ing, the species of mite, the crop species and even the variety, and, among other relationships, specific tolerance or sus ceptibility features related to nutrient elements in the leaves and the chemicals applied to the crop (DeOng, 1919;Frost, 1919;Garman, 1923;Geijskes, 1938;Listo, Listo, and Kanervo, 1939;Rahman and Sapra, 1940;Steer, 1940;Kuenen, 1943;Andersen, 1947;Austin and Massee, 1947;van de Vrie, 1956;Canerday and Arant, 1964a, b;Westigard, Lom bard, and Grim, 1966). Certain indica tions of the scope of these relations are now apparent.…”

The literature pertalOlOg to the bionomics of some of the mos t important tetranychids is r~viewed. Considerable attention is paid to the possihiliries of spider mites reaching pest le~els /as a 'resu lt of environmental factors. It is concluded that more infor--m ation is needed on economic injury levels of various species on d ifferent crops and under various climatic conditions. The in-I fluences of cultural practices and their interactions as related to population development of tetranychids also need more i tu dy. Furthermore, work is need~d on the influence of climatic conditions on development of retranychid mite populations together with possible predictability 'of outbreak situations. Finally; we need to know more about ·th)e fundamental relations between the host-planr-qualiry and spider mite development, and the, impact of spider mites on the development .of their .host p lants.

“…This phenomenon has attracted attention only in North America and Europe (9,12,14,18,22,28,34,37,38,42,51,57). praetiosa has been classed as a household pest on numerous occasions because it sometimes moves in enormous numbers into dwellings during the spring or fall.…”

Bryobia praetiosa Koch (1836) was formerly regarded as a complex of closely related species or races similar in morphological characters but varying widely in life-history, host plant specificity, and habits. The authors (30) have recently shown that two species, the clover mite, B. praetiosa Koch, and the brown mite, B. arborea Morgan and Anderson, can be distinguished in British Columbia on the basis of morphological characters. This paper presents ecological data in support of the morphological evidence. Review of Literature C o m o n NamesThe common names used for the B. praetiosa complex vary with the area and the principal host plants. It is usually called the clover or the brown mite in North America (9, 26, 28, 52) and the gooseberry mite in Europe (40, 57). Other common names are: almond mite, almond red spider, apple stem mite, brown almond mite, bryobia mite, clover spider mite, gooseberry red spider, ivy red spider, red apple mite, red mite, red spider, and spiny gooseberry mite (1,2,4,12,13,24,25,32,34,43,45,48,50). Distribution and HostsThese mites are of economic importance in many countries. They occur mainly between 20 and 60 degrees in both north and south latitudes (40). A report (1 1) from the tropics (Colombia) appears to be based on a misidentification as it mentions that the mites form dense webs, particularly in dry seasons. B. praetiosa is a non-webspinning tetranychid (2, 7, 26, 39, 46, 52). The mites have been recorded from low-growing herbaceous plants and from deciduous and coniferous trees. The recorded host plants are: (40) considered that B. praetiosa originally lived on mosses and other low-growing plants and became adapted to gooseberry. It was not mentioned in the literature as a pest on gooseberry until 1890 (1). In Europe its most important hosts are ivy, Hedem spp.; gooseberry, Ribes spp.; pome fruits; and low-growing herbaceous plants snch as legumes and various species of grasses. In most parts of Europe it is considered chiefly a pest of ivy and gooseberry, yet in other parts nf the world it is seldom recorded from these hosts. In Australasia it is reported chiefly on fruit trees and to a lesser extent on legumes and grasses. Host plant preference in North America varies considerably in different areas.In the central and eastern United States praetiosa is primarily a pest on clover and grasses; in the south and southwest it is common in orchard trees and is an import-lcontribution No. 3704,

“…Most workers (1,4,9) gave egg measurements considerably larger than those of mites found on herbaceous plants and apple trees in British Columbia. However, Wybou (14) reported measurements of eggs, apparently from apple in Belgium, similar to those of praetiosa eggs.…”

The clover, or brown, mite, Bryobia praetiosa Koch, was described in 1836 from specimens collected an shrubbem in Germany. The systematics of the species is complex and confusing. Bv j838, Koch had described four species in the genus firyobin but he preserved no tvpe specimens and his descriptions do not agree with his illustrations (7, 12). ~h b s e~u e n t workers either placed Iqoch's species in synonomy n r described new species. T\vo species, speciosa Koch and ribis Thomas, have created the most controversv. B. speciosa was accepted as valid by Koch, Rerlese, Canestrini and Fanzago, ind Oudemans, but rejected by von Hanstein and T A g h d l~ (2, 12). T'[hc gooseberry mite, B. ribir, was recog-
