Surveys of Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) were conducted at three locations in Latakia governorate, Syria, 2020 and 2021. Among the nine species collected, two [Eharius chergui (Athias-Henriot) Typhloseiulus simplex (Chant)] are new records for Syrian fauna, (Eharius stathakisi Döker, Graminaseius recebi Kazak Karut Neoseiulus sekeroglui Döker Stathakis) measured discovered first time after...

Three new species and one new genus of Uropodina from Tanzania are described and illustrated. They include the second species of the genus Bloszykiella Kontschán, 2010, Bloszykiella grebennikovi sp. nov., and the resurrection and re-definition of the genus Spinosissuropoda Hirschmann, 1979, with description of a new species, Spinosissuropoda tanzanica sp. nov. Five species of Uropoda are transf...

Soil mesofauna plays an important role in decomposing organic matter, recycling nutrients, and increasing nutrient availability. The effects of nitrogen (N) deposition reduced precipitation on the litter-dwelling mesofaunal community how this process affects litter decomposition remain poorly understood. Herein, a two-year simulated N throughfall reduction experiment was carried out natural eve...

Objective: In soil habitats, mesostigmatic mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) are among the most important predators of smallarthropods and nematodes. Methods: A study was carried out during 2009-2010 to identify theirfauna in Khorramabad county, Western Iran. Soil samples were taken from different regions. Mites were extracted by Berlese-Tullgren funnel and cleared in nesbit fluid. Microscopic slides...

This paper describes the first record of Sejida (= Sejina) family Sejidae (superfamily Sejoidea) from Burmese amber, based on deutonymphs. Specimens were found in amber piece along with a wasp (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), flies (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) and thrips (Thysanoptera: Adiheterothripidae). traces back to mid-Cretaceous (ca. 100 Ma) represents not only oldest valid Mesostigmata, but it...

The genus Micherdzinskiiobovella Hirschmann, 1989 (Mesostigmata: Uropodina: Uropodi­nychidae) is resurrected for species of the Uroobovella micherdzinskii-group. This differs from other taxa sensu lato based on shape body, first gnathosomal setae, peritreme and number ventral setae. All micherdzinskii-group are moved to Micherdzinskiiobovella, as M. japonica (Hiramatsu et 1977) comb. n., leviga...
