Biological control of pests, based on the use of their natural enemies, constitutes a sustainable and economically viable alternative to the application of chemical pesticides in various crops, also presenting a positive cost/benefit ratio when employed. Among natural enemies, predatory mites of the family Phytoseiidae stand out for their diversity and predatory efficiency, being used in …
Mites are the second largest group of arthropods, but the number of described species is still small. Among the groups of mites that live on plants known in Brazil, the predatory and phytophagous mites are the most common. In natural vegetation environments, predators are widely represented by the family Phytoseiidae wich are important biological control agents. The Atlantic Forest is con…
The number of cases of scorpion accidents in the northwest state of São Paulo, caused by the species Tityus serrulatus, has increased too much, resulting in a big concern in the population, especially in relation to accidents involving children and the elderly. Research integrated into the life cycle of these animals has been carried out with a certain frequency. However, little is known …
Will be installed traps consisting of two wires containing entomological glue, encircling the trunk at a height of one meter, with a spacing of 10 cm between each wire, so that the upper wire intercepts the falling mites and the lower one the ones that are rising. This device should remain in some trees during the day, while in others during the night. Samples will also be collected using…
The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is a plant native of Brazil and considered as the largest source of natural rubber in the world. When monoculture is the method used for its cultivation, it can suffer damages caused by pests. Two species of phytophagous mites of great concern to the rubber tree producers are Calacarus heveae and Tenuipalpus heveae, since infestations of these species …

Tarsonemidae is a large family of mites, with more than 40 known genera. It is a widespread group which has been found all around the world, adapted to virtually all types of biomes and several different feeding habits. Despite its importance, there is only one phylogenetic study for this family from the 1980's. Since then, new Tarsonemidae genera have been found and described, which make…
Tarsoneminae Canestrini & Fanzago is one of the three subfamilies of Tarsonemidae (Acari: Prostigmata). There is only one phylogenetic study for this subfamily (Lindquist 1986). Since then, new Tarsoneminae genera have been found and described, which makes this initial phylogeny hypothesis outdated. Also, new microscopy technologies have been developed, bringing new comprehension about th…
The genus Daidalotarsonemus De Leon has currently 25 described species. Approximately one third of the holotypes are deposited in the Acari collection of the United States National Museum of Natural History (USNM). Despite the importance of these species as plant mites, there are just a few studies for the genus. Thus, the aim of this study is the taxonomic review of the Daidalotarsonemus…
