“…Also, Hypoaspis miles is an important predatory mite that is used as an agent for biological control of Bradysia paupera (Wright and Chambers 1994). More Hypoaspis species were recorded in countries neighboring the UAE: H. ( Pneumolaelaps ) azarbaijaniensis and H. ( Hypoaspis ) polyphyllae in Iran (Khanjani and Ueckermann 2005; Faraj et al 2008), and H. zaheri and H. dactylifera in date palm tree debris in Saudi Arabia (Fouly and Al-Rehiayani 2010). Specific data on the effect of H. rhinocerotis on O. a. arabicus in UAE are not available, and more research is warranted.…”

Oryctes agamemnon arabicus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) is one of the main pests on date palm trees in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Two mite species were found associated with this beetle: Sancassania sp. (Acari: Astigmata: Acaridae) and Hypoaspis rhinocerotis Oudemans (Acari: Mesostigmata: Laelapidae). Sancassania deutonymphs (hypopi) were phoretic on O. a. arabicus adults and larvae. However, they were also necromenic, because once the host dies they feed on its carcass. The highest deutonymph load was found in the subelytral space of O. a. arabicus adult. The phoretic and necromenic interactions between Sancassania sp. and O. a. arabicus need to be investigated in more detail. H. rhinocerotis was recorded for the first time in UAE. Its role has not yet been studied in the date palm agricultural ecosystem.

“…Epistome always denticulate, with rounded or subtriangular anterior margin, sometimes more or less straight e.g. in G. zhoumanshuae (Ma, 1997) and G. dactylifera (Fouly & Al-Rehiayani, 2011); rarely pronounced and pointed anteriorly e.g. in G. brevior and G. segregatus.…”

Two new species of laelapid mites of the genus Gaeolaelaps Evans & Till are described based on adult females collected from soil and litter in Kerman Province, southeastern Iran, and Mazandaran Province, northern Iran. Gaeolaelaps jondishapouri Nemati & Kavianpour is redescribed based on the holotype and additional specimens collected in southeastern Iran. The concept of the genus is revised to incorporate some atypical characters of recently described species. Finally, some morphological attributes with potential to define natural species groupings as well as hypoaspidine genera are discussed, particularly idiosomal gland pores and poroids.

Global trade has increased the invasion risk of exotic organisms and damaged agricultural and natural ecosystems. The Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine (BAPHIQ) handles quarantine services of animal- and plant-associated pests and diseases in Taiwan. The predatory mite family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) is a well-known group due to the potential use of certain species as biocontrol agents for small phytophagous pests. Some species are available in commercial markets and frequently used in biological control in many agricultural systems especially in greenhouse crops. However, exotic biological control agents may interfere with native or naturalized populations of predatory mites and they may threaten indigenous populations via intraguild predation. The present study aims to provide the phytoseiid mite species found in plant quarantine from 2006–2013. Twenty-five species belonging two subfamilies and eight genera were found in samples imported to Tawan from twelve countries, including one new species Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) ueckermannisp. nov. from South Africa. The checklist provides distribution, remarks, and also an identification key for all species.
