“…Similarly, the nutritional value of the green mealybug, Pseudococcus citriculus Green and the long-tailed mealybug, P. longspinus Targ-Tozz was low for T. swirskii and the oviposition rate was zero even with adding the honeydew (Ragusa & Swirski 1977). Regarding other generalist phytoseiid mites, similar results were also reported by Momen et al (2009) who found that the biological aspects of Typhlodromus negevi Swirski and Amitai were the best when fed on castor bean pollen compared with eggs of I. pallidula and P. marlatti. Kamburov (1971) and Momen and Hussein (1999) similarly clarified that pollen grains of maize and castor bean showed high fecundity for Amblyseius largoensis Muma and Typhlodromus transvaalensis (Nesbitt), while eggs and nymphs of scale insects exhibited a low to medium oviposition rate.…”

“…These results are coincided with those reported by Ali and Zaher (2007) who found that date palm pollen was the most superior to life table parameters of T. swirskii followed by eggs and nymphs of C. ficus and C. hesperidum. Momen et al (2009) similarly showed that life table parameters were the best for T. negevi consuming castor bean pollen followed by eggs of I. pallidus and P. marlatti.…”

Biological aspects and life table parameters of the predacious mites, Typhlodromips swirskii (Athias-Henriot) and Euseius scutalis (Athias-Henriot) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) consuming eggs of the Maskell scale insect, Insulaspis pallidula (Green) and the red date scale insect, Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell (Homoptera: Diaspididae, Phoenicococcidae) as well as pollen grains of date palm, Phoenyx dactylifera L. were determined under laboratory conditions. The life cycle and pre-oviposition period of T. swirskii were the shortest, while the oviposition period and female longevity were the longest as well as the egg production was the highest when fed on pollen compared with eggs of I. pallidula and P. marlatti. On the other hand, the life cycle, preoviposition and oviposition periods as well as the female longevity of E. scutalis were the best when devoured P. marlatti followed by pollen and I. pallidula. However, the total and daily fecundity of E. scutalis were the highest after consuming pollen compared with eggs of P. marlatti and I. pallidula. The sex ratio of females to total in the progeny of T. swirskii and E. scutalis was the highest when consumed I. pallidula followed by pollen and P. marlatti. Life table parameters were the most favourable for T. swirskii and E. scutalis feeding on date palm pollen compared with eggs of I. pallidula and P. marlatti.

“…The life table parameters reported for C. negevi in this study at 35 C are close to that provided by Momen et al (2009) C and 35% RH are slightly lower than reported for E. scutalis against the same prey at 25 C and 70% RH (Al-Shammery 2010). Euseius scutalis performed better on O. afrasiaticus than C. negevi, and this could be due to the higher humidity level used.…”

“…Adult female longevity of C. negevi is similar to the data obtained when fed on individuals of E. ficus, T. urticae eggs, B. tabaci eggs, and R. communis pollen (Abou-Awad et al 1998;Momen 1999;Momen et al 2009). When E. scutalis was evaluated against O. afrasiaticus (Al-Shammery 2010), adult female longevity was shorter (19.4 d) than that of C. negevi (31.8 d).…”

Tomato crop in the Mediterranean Basin has been recently affected by the exotic pest Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), which is difficult to control due to its high reproduction rate and potential to develop resistance to insecticides. In this paper, the suitability and effectiveness of three predatory phytoseiid mites Cydnoseius negevi (Swirski and Amitai), Neoseiulus barkeri (Hughes) and Amblyseius largoensis (Muma), an indigenous species, were evaluated on larvae of T. absoluta under laboratory conditions. First instar larvae of T. absoluta proved to be possible food source for tested phytoseiid mites under laboratory conditions. Females of C. negevi, A. largoensis and N. barkeri were able to feed and sustain oviposition on unfed, first instar larvae of T. absoluta. A diet of insect larvae provided the shortest oviposition period and adult longevity of C. negevi and A. largoensis, while N. barkeri showed the longest corresponding periods. The total and daily number of insect larvae consumed was significantly higher in N. barkeri than in A. largoensis and C. negevi. Likewise, N. barkeri laid significantly higher number of eggs (23.6 eggs / female) than that deposited by C. negevi and A. largoensis (2.5 and 3.9 eggs / female). The sex ratio of the progeny was female biased and ranged: (females / total=0.62-0.68%) when insect larvae were provided for females of C. negevi, A. largoensis and N. barkeri.
