This is the eighth publication of a series on the determination of phytoseiid mites of sub-Saharan Africa. Twenty-three phytoseiid species of the tribe Paraseiulini Wainstein are reported in this paper. They refer to all species of this tribe known to occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Six of these spe...

Phytoseiid mites of the tribe Paraseiulini Wainstein (Acari: Phytoseiidae) from subSaharan Africa
Thirty phytoseiid mite species of the genus Neoseiulus Hughes are reported from sub-Saharan Africa. Ten of these species are described for the first time and 14 nominal species are redescribed. Most of the species were collected from cassava groves in tropical Africa and from other habitats in So...

Predatory mites identified as Neoseiulus paspalivorus DeLeon (Phytoseiidae) have been considered as agents for classical biological control of the coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Eriophyidae), in Africa and elsewhere. Preliminary identification of geographically distinct populations as b...

Morphological variation and reproductive incompatibility of three coconutmiteassociated populations of predatory mites identified as Neoseiulus paspalivorus ( Acari: Phytoseiidae)
Surveys were conducted in Brazil, Benin and Tanzania to collect predatory mites as candidates for control of the coconut mite Aceria guerreronis Keifer, a serious pest of coconut fruits. At all locations surveyed, one of the most dominant predators on infested coconut fruits was identified as Neo...

Morphological, molecular and crossbreeding analysis of geographic populations of coconutmite associated predatory mites identified as Neoseiulus baraki: evidence for cryptic species?
Consideration of possible side-effects of exotic biological control agents on their new environments is a necessary step in classical biological control programs. The evaluation of such effects usually requires the knowledge of the fauna present in those environments prior to introduction of cont...
