“…The richness of Phytoseiidae found in this study is very similar to that found in the Brazilian Caatinga and Cerrado and is lower than that observed in the Atlantic Forest and Amazon Forest. The richness of Stigmaeidae found in this study was higher than that observed in other studies (Ferla and Moraes 2002; Demite et al 2013; Demite et al 2015; Lofego et al 2017; Noronha et al 2020; Rodrigues et al 2020, but similar to that found by Johann et al (2014) in vineyard agroecosystems. Many plants sheltered more than one mite species and the interaction value was high with 98 interactions of 28 mite species.…”

The Brazilian Pampa presents a high diversity of fauna and flora within a mosaic of environments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the assemblages of predatory mites (Phytoseiidae and Stigmaeidae) in three different Pampa environments: Grassland shrub vegetation, Grazing Exclusions fenced for six years and Riparian Forest with tree vegetation. Phytoseiidae and Stigmaeidae were evaluated with a total of 324 plant sampled from nine sites in three environments. Twenty-two Phytoseiidae species and six Stigmaeidae species were found. Riparian Forest presented the highest abundance of predatory mites (243) and the greatest species diversity. Mites were more abundant in Grazing Exclusions (64) than in Grassland (25) environments, but species diversity was similar. In Riparian Forest, the most abundant species were Amblyseius tamatavensis Blommers, Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant) and Agistemus floridanus González-Rodríguez. Arrenoseius gaucho Ferla, Silva and Moraes and Zetzellia malvinae Matioli, Ueckermann and Oliveira were the most abundant in Grassland environment. Our results demonstrate that the Brazilian Pampa has a high diversity of predatory mites and mite communities seem to be affected by the type of environment, showing the importance of this ecosystem as a reservoir of natural enemies.

“…Another group of predatory mites associated with grapevines in RS are the Stigmaeidae, especially Agistemus floridanus Gonzales and Agistemus riograndensis Johann & Ferla (Johann et al . 2013, 2014). Stigmaeid species help control mite populations belonging to Eriophyidae, Tenuipalpidae and Tetranychidae (Gerson et al .…”

“…Approximately 2,700 species of phytoseiids have been described (Demite et al 2021), with Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) and Euseius mesembrinus (Dean) being the most frequent species associated with grapevines in RS (Johann et al 2009;Silva et al 2020). Another group of predatory mites associated with grapevines in RS are the Stigmaeidae, especially Agistemus floridanus Gonzales and Agistemus riograndensis Johann & Ferla (Johann et al 2013(Johann et al , 2014.

Viticulture is one of the main economic activities in Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil, with emphasis on the American grape varieties, Vitis labrusca L. (Vitaceae), used in producing juices and wines. The present work aimed to identify the mite species associated with American grapevines (V. labrusca), their possible natural enemies, and their population fluctuations. The selected varieties were: Bordô (Bd) and Couderc (Cc and Cd) in Dois Lajeados (RS), Bordô (Bi) in Imigrante (RS) and Bordô (Bp), in Putinga (RS). The study was conducted monthly between March 2017 and March 2018, evaluating 20 randomly selected plants from each municipality. We found 5,452 mites belonging to 13 families, distributed across 29 genera and 42 species, or belonging to the suborder Oribatida. Higher mite richness was observed on Cc (12 species) and higher abundance on Cd (2,812 specimens), Cc (868) and Bi (799). Among the predatory mite families, Stigmaeidae had the highest abundance (896 specimens), followed by Phytoseiidae (746). The most abundant species observed were Euseius mesembrinus (Dean), Agistemus riograndensis Johann & Ferla, Tydeus californicus (Banks), Polyphagotars-onemus latus (Banks) and Tarsonemus sp. This is the first study in southern Brazil that evaluates and reports the mite fauna and its ecology on American grape varieties, with high abundance and frequency of predatory mites. This work is important to assist in implementing management techniques that promote the maintenance of predatory mite species in these vineyards.
