ABSTRACT

Observations on the Biology of Hormosianoetus mahunkai Eraky and Shoker, 1993 (Acari: Histiostomatidae)

“…Generally, male immatures had shorter life cycle than these of female. Similar results were obtained by Abou El-Atta et al (2014) who mentioned that the life cycle of C. manure durated 7.42 days for female and tall days for male days at 30°C; Eraky (1987) when reared C. berlesei (Mich.) on yeasted Dorosophila, the life cycle lasted 7.5 days at 26°C; Woodring (1969) stated that life cycle of Caloglyphus anomalus averaged 6.5 days at 23°C; whereas, Walia and Mathur (1998) indicated that Tyrophagous putrescentiae (Schrank) female life cycle durated 13.12 days when reared on juvenile of root the knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica). Chmielewski (2000) reported that female C. berlesei life cycle was 19.90 days when fed on bee-bread, while in ( 2003) he found that its life cycle decreased to 17.7 days when reared on buck wheat sprouts at 20°C and 95-100% R.H. Also, Eraky and Osman (2008 b) reported that female and male C. manuri (Mich.) life cycle durated 10.40 and 8.10 days, respectively when reared on Meloidogyne sp.…”

“…These results illustrated that males lived longer than female. Similar data obtained by Abou El-Atta et al (2014) who stated that the adult female lived for 27.20, 20.55 and 16.95 days while male lived for 16. 85, 18.40 and 9.30 days20, 25 and 30°C, respectively.…”
