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.
