New records of predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) from Ethiopia with redescription of female Graminaseius shwelei El-Banhawy & Knapp and the first description of its male

During a study of predatory mites of Western Siberia, I have recorded the following six species of the genus Stigmaeus (Acari: Stigmaeidae): S. dingus Kuznetsov; S. uzunolukensis Özçelik and Doğan; S. harsitensis Doğan, Doğan and Erman; S. fimus Doğan, Doğan and Erman; S. corticeus Kuznetsov; and S. pilatus Kuznetsov. These species were recorded for the first time from Asian Russia. Moreover, three of the six species—S. uzunolukensis, S. harsitensis and S. fimus—have been recorded for the first time from Russia as well. This article redescribes females of S. dingus and S. uzunolukensis based on materials from Western Siberia. Also, a S. uzunolukensis male is described for the first time.

Plant Parts

Phytoseiidae Berlese (Acari: Mesostigmata) is a family of predatory mites found mostly on the aerial plant parts. Several phytoseiid species are commercialized as biological control agents. Even though Brazil is the fifth country with the highest number of valid species, knowledge about the phytoseiid fauna in different Brazilian states is highly variable. The objective of this paper is to report unpublished records of phytoseiids on different Brazilian states. The list includes 20 species belonging to 13 genera. New records are reported for 11 states; the largest number of new records is reported for Santa Catarina (7), followed by Paraná (4).

A New Species

During a study of predatory mites in Western Siberia, a new species, Stigmaeus amphibius sp. n. (Acari: Stigmaeidae), was collected from wet soil near a lake. Eryngiopus hamedanicus Khanjani, Mohammadi and Nazari, 2014, Eustigmaeus bisetalis (Doğan, 2004) comb. n. (from Ledermuelleriopsis), E. vacuus Doğan, 2005, Ledermuelleriopsis rizeiensis Doğan, 2004 and L. plumosa Willmann, 1951 are recorded from Russia for the first time. Females of Eustigmaeus bisetalis and Ledermuelleriopsis rizeiensis are redescribed based on materials from Western Siberia.
