“…2). However, the record of N. longispinosus in New Zealand (Collyer, 1982) may be confusing because A. womersleyi was described as a synonym of A. longipinosus. From the information of habitat plants and geographic distribution of N. longispinosus in this study, we conclude that N. longispinosus has a high potential to survive at various areas and on a wide variety of habitat plants and this predator will play an important role in suppressing populations of spider mites in Thailand.…”

We studied the distribution of the predatory phytoseiid mite, Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans), in Thailand. The predator was distributed over the entire areas of the country throughout the year. It was found on 33 plant species ranging from perennial plants such as fruit trees to annual crops such as vegetables and ornamentals. N. longispinosus was abundant on plants infested with spider mites producing heavy webbing on the lower surface of leaves.

Collyer (1982) described New Zealand specimens of A. perlongisetus, and accepted the broad concept of this species. She characterized these three long setae as "L 4 and M 2 are elongate ...... and L 9 is long and whiplike, twice as long as M 2 " in her description (p. 194) but as "L 4 and M 2 also long, more than half as long as L 9 " in her key to species (p. 187).…”

New observations on Amblyseius perlongisetus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) inhabiting chilli leaves in New Zealand

Amblyseius perlongisetus Berlese (Acari: Phytoseiidae) was recorded for the first time from leaves of chilli (Capsicum frutescens) in Auckland, New Zealand. Adults and immature stages of this predatory mite were sometimes found near the vein axils on the undersurface of the leaves but were more often found nesting in small feeding pits created by young green looper Chrysodeixis eriosoma (Doubleday) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) near the mid-vein. This is the first report on the use of insect feeding pits as nests by phytoseiids. Remarks on the morphological variation among adult female mites (i.e. relative length of setae on the dorsal shield) are also given.

Dietary effects on body weight of predatory mites (Acari, Phytoseiidae)

et al. 2015

Pollen is offered as alternative or supplementary food for predacious mites; however, it may vary in its nutritional value. Body weight appears a representative parameter to describe food quality. Thus, we assessed the body weight for adults of the generalist mites Amblyseius swirskii, Amblydromalus limonicus, and Neoseiulus cucumeris reared on 22, 12, and 6 pollen species, respectively. In addition, A. swirskii and A. limonicus was reared on codling moth eggs. In all mite species, female body weight was higher than that of males, ranging between 4.33 and 8.18 µg for A. swirskii, 2.56-6.53 µg for A. limonicus, and 4.66-5.92 µg for N. cucumeris. Male body weight ranged between 1.78 and 3.28 µg, 1.37-3.06 µg, and 2.73-3.03 µg, respectively. Nutritional quality of pollen was neither consistent among the mite species nor among sex, revealing superior quality of Quercus macranthera pollen for females of A. swirskii and Tulipa gesneriana pollen for males, Alnus incana pollen for females of A. limonicus and Aesculus hippocastanum pollen for males, and Ae. hippocastanum pollen for both sexes of N. cucumeris. The results are discussed against the background of known or putative pollen chemistry and mite's nutritional physiology.
