ABSTRACT

A survey (1999–2002) of stored grains and their products in Hisar yielded seven species of mites belonging to mesostigmata. The mites are Phytoseiidae: Phytoseius sp., Laelapidae: Androlaelaps theseus (Zumpt), Haemolaelaps ovalis Costa, Hypoaspis aculeifer Canestrtni, Hypoaspis sardoa Berlese, Macronyssidae: Ornithonyssus nitedulae Costa and Uropodidae: Leiodinychus parasiticus Choudhary and Mukherjee. Except Phytoseius sp. the remaining six species are being reported for the first time from Haryana, whereas four are new records from India on stored products. Leiodinychus parasiticus was most abundant. Host mite list is provided in the text.
