spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch. Pathogenicity of the two fungi against T. urticae were studied and evaluated underlaboratory and semi-field conditions. Three fungal spore suspensions were prepared; T. harzianum (2x106 spores/ml),C. herbarium (1x106 spores/ml) and a mixture of both fungi (50%: 50%). The effect of fungal spore suspensions on thedeferent stages of T. urticae was studied at 30 & 35oC and 90 % R.H. The mortality percentages of all mite stagesincreased with prolonging the period after spraying. The mixture of the two fungi gave higher mortality than a single oneafter 3 and 7 days for all mite stages reaching 46.8% and 59.8% after 3 and 7 days respectively at 30oC, while at 35oC, itincreased to 65.1% and 83.0%after the two periods respectively. Under semi-field conditions, the mean reduction in mitepopulation resulted from using suspensions of T. harzianum and C. herbarium recorded 42.4 and 43.9% respectivelyafter 10 days of spraying, while it increased to 58.2% when using the mixture of the two fungi. Both fungi T. harzianumand C. herbarium exhibited a positive effect in the pathogenicity of the two-spotted spider mite, T. urticae, but it isrecommended to use a mixture of both fungi to obtain more efficient control.

Biological control of Tetranychus urticae Koch different stages on two cucumber cultivars (Sahm & Heikal) grown inplastic houses in Nubaria District, Beheira Governorate, during 2004&2005 seasons was studied. Four predatorphytoseiid mites; Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks), Neoseiulus californicus (McG.), N. cucumeris (Oudemans), and N.zaheri (Yousef and El-Borolossy) were used against T. urticae different stages. N. californicus and P. macropilis gavethe highest reduction percentages of T. urticae different stages (97.36 & 97.51 % adults; 98.49 & 98.45% immaturesand 99.36& 98.59% eggs) in Sahm cultivar, while in Heikal cultivar the percentages were 87.14 & 92.50 %; 98.50 &97.38 % and 97.87&97.85%, respectively during 2004. Similar results were obtained, during 2005. Chemical control byspraying the two compounds Vertemic & Ortus proved that Vertemic was the best in reducing T. urticae different stagesby 89.55, 95.37 & 94.00% of the aforementioned successive prey stages. Integrated pest control, showed that releasingN. californicus and P. macropilis after spraying Vertemic gave in general the high reduction of T. urticae differentstages but less than Vertemic alone. However using the two predators alone and not integrated with acaricides gave thehighest reduction percentages.

Zaher
The biology of Typhlodrompis swirskii (Athias-Henriot) fed on different associated phytophagous mites, insects andpollens was studied at 25o C. These were Eutetranychus orientalis (Klien) (immatures and adults), Cenopalpus pulcher(C. & F.) females, Panonychus ulmi (Koch) (females), Tetranychus urticae Koch (immatures and eggs), Tydeuscalifornicus (Banks) moving stages; whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (eggs and 1st & 2nd instar nymphs), the scaleinsects Chrysomphalus ficus Rilly and Coccus hesperidium (Linnaeus) (eggs and nymphs), the aphid Aphis durantaTheo (adults), date palm pollens Phoenix dactylifera L. and castor bean pollens Ricinus communis L. Amount ofconsumption, as well as the predation capacity were estimated. Mites and date palm pollens were more suitable thaninsects and castor bean pollens; also immatures of E. orientalis gave the shortest female life cycle (10.8 days) and thehighest female fecundity (38.0 eggs/♀). Feeding T. swirskii on E. orientalis immatures at 15, 20, 25, 28, 30, 32 and35oC, the developmental durations averaged 18.5, 14.3, 10.8, 9.0, 7.7, 6.8 and 6.1 days respectively. The intrinsic rateof natural increase (rm) and the net reproduction (Ro) represented the best values 0.269 and 26.48 respectively at 32oCthe mean generation time decreased with increasing temperature (10.971 days at 35oC).

Relative humidity of 70 to 85% proved to be the most suitable for Typhlodrompis swirskii (Athias-Henriot) at 25oC as itaccelerated development (10.0 & 10.8 days) and increased female fecundity (13.0 & 12.0 eggs/♀/10 days) onEutetranychus. orientalis immatures. Low temperature (5 & 9oC) prolonged egg incubation and decreased hatchabilityas well as female survival. After one to four weeks, egg hatchability ranged from 90 to 50% and from 100 to 64% andfemale survival from 50 to 0% and from 80 to 10% at 5 and 9oC, respectively. Multiple mating due to male companythrough the whole female longevity or sporadically for 12 hours every 5 days increased female fecundity and longevityas it averaged 47.0 & 35.0 eggs and 37.6 & 35.0 days compared with 25.0 eggs and 29.2 days for once mated female.For food attraction and /or kairomone emitted that affects predator, T. swirskii females showed greater percentage ofattractance in a shorter period to more advanced prey stage and to mites than insects tested. Also fed females showedmore attraction than 24 starved females and the latters better than 48 hours starved ones. E. orientalis adults gave thegreatest percentage attraction (60%) in the shortest time (3.20 minutes) for fed female, while castor been pollens gavethe smallest (1%) and the longest time (121.6 minutes). Host plants of different leaf texture, affected female fecundity,averaging the greatest (15.8 eggs/♀/10 days) on smooth leathery leaf of grape fruit, while coarse reticulated leaf ofguava resulted in the least number of deposited eggs (10.8 eggs/♀/10 days).

Ghallab
The present study was directed towards the habitat of various mite species as predators, fungivores or as parasitesassociated with insects inhabiting grains and stored products. Samples were collected monthly from maize, wheat flour,broad bean, wheat and rough rice in four governorates, Kafr El-Sheikh, Dakahleya, Gharbeya and Menoufeya duringthe period between March 2003 and February 2004. The results revealed that: 1) The mite survey revealed theoccurrence of 13 predatory species belonging to one family of the suborder Gamasida, and 6 families of the suborderActinedida. Also 7 species belong to 4 families of the suborder Acaridida, were recorded as scavengers or fungivores.2) The most abundant predaceous mites were: Blattisocius keegani Fox followed by Cheyletus malaccensis Oudemans,then Blattisocius tarsalis (Berlese). 3) The most abundant fungivore mites were: Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Shranck),Rhizoglyphus robini Claparède, and Acarus siro Linnaeus. 4) The most infested stored grains with mites was maizefollowed by wheat, rough rice, broad bean seeds then wheat flour. 5) The major insect pests of stored grains and seedsand associated mites were listed herein.

The present paper deals with the description of the adult male Pulaeus subterraneus Berlese, which has never beenrecorded and described before. A comparative study between the tritonymph of male and female was undertaken. Thedifferent developmental stages were illustrated and described to show their morphological characters. The illustration ofthe adult female was displayed for comparison.

Boophilus annulatus (Say) fed females were collected from healthy cattle (Bos indicus) and the eggs from their pinground. Both were found infected with hyphae of Beauvaria bassiana, penetrating tick cuticles and egg membranes.Ticks were observed immobile and gradually died within 3-4 days. Eggs were dried within 48 hrs. The samesymptoms were observed after exposing uninfected ticks with infected B. annulatus fed females and eggs. Females diedwithin 4 to 5 days, while the eggs dried and never hatched. Results indicate that fungi can be used as an importantbiological control agent against the cattle ticks, B. annulatus.
