Description |
A study was undertaken during 2011-2012 to record the mites associated with selected plants in Devarayanadurga area of Tumkur District. 56 species of plants comprising of trees, shrubs and herbs were sampled for the taxonomic identification of the associated mite species. The results revealed 68 species of mites under 35 genera from 14 families. Mite family Phytoseiidae was represented by maximum number of species/genera (15/6), followed by Tetranychidae (11/5), Tenuipalpidae (9/3), Eriophyidae (2/2), Tarsonemidae (3/3), Tydeidae (7/5), Stigmaeidae (6/2), Bdellidae (5/2), Iolinidae (3/2), and Cunaxidae (3/1). Ascidae, Anystidae, Eupodidae and Acaridae were represented by single species each. Of the 68 species of mites collected, 40 species are known, of which 2 are new records in India and 2 are assigned nearer to known species and the remaining twenty six species are probably new to science, of these; three species are under Tetranychus, one each under Eutetranychus, Oligonychus and Platytetranychus (Tetranychidae); four species under Brevipalpus, one species under Tenuipalpus (Tenuipalpidae); one species each under Fungitarsonemus, Suskia and Xenotarsonemus (Tarsonemidae); one species under Euseius (Phytoseiidae); one species under Zetzellia (Stigmaeidae); one species each under Paralorryia, Pseudolorryia and Orfareptydeus (Tydeidae); three species under Tydeus (Tydeidae); two species under Bdellodes (Bdellidae); one species under Lasioseius (Ascidae) and one species under Rhizoglyphus (Acaridae). Fifty six plant species from which the mites were collected belonged to 25 botanical families, of which Fabaceae and Rutaceae harboured maximum number of mite species (16 species each) and both Cupressaceae & Santalaceae harboured only one species of mite. |
