This study aims to assess the mite fauna of coffee plants in the municipality of Monte Alegre do Sul, SP. The sample period was from April 2004 to February 2008. Each month, we sampled 480 leaves and 1,920 fruits from plants of the Coffea arabica L. cv. Mundo Novo. In total 16,062 adult individuals from 30 families representing 81 species of mite (and 1 incertae sedis). Among them, 95% were obtained from leaves, with the Mesostigmata contributing 23 species and 1,805 specimens. The phytoseiid mites were the most abundant, with 1,793 specimens. Seventeen families of Prostigmatid mites were recorded, represented by 48 species and 12,485 individuals. On fruits, the Mesostigmatid mites included three families and eight species. The Prostigmatid mites included nine families and 18 species, totalling 852 individuals. Brevipalpus sp. was the most abundant and frequent species, representing approximately 92% of the Prostigmatid mites. The present work reveals the occurrence of predator mites on coffee plants in the region: Euseius alatus, Amblyseius herbicolus, Iphiseiodes matatlanticae, Armascirus sp.1 and Dactyloscirus sp..

(misella) or not visible (P. plumosa), usually with smooth anteriormost transverse line followed by five (P. plumosa) or six (P. misella) rows of 12���23 denticles each. Palp tarsal apotele 3-tined. Cheliceral digits similar in length; fixed and movable digits with 5���6 and two teeth, respectively. Idiosomal dorsum. Podonotal and opisthonotal shields fused, covered with small protuberances aligned to constitute a polygonal network (not discernible P in. meghalayaensis Bhattacharyya), with or without lateral notch between Z 1 and Z 3. Dorsal shield with 17���23 pairs of setae (11 in the illustration of P. meghalayaensis; a few setae not discernible, according to Bhattacharyya, 1994), without supernumerary setae; seta j 1 usually present (absent in P. alstoni Evans & Hyatt and P. plumosa). Soft lateral cuticle of idiosoma without setae. Dorsal setae serrate (also referred to as ciliate, plumose or pilose by various authors), stout or slender. Idiosomal venter. Sternal shield with three pairs of setae of similar lengths st (1��� st 3); seta st 4 inserted on metasternal plate (apparently on soft cuticle in P. misella); lyrifissures (iv 1��� iv 3) indistinct. Genital shield bearing st 5, posteriorly truncate to slightly convex. Pore gv 2 (P. misella) on unsclerotised cuticle. Without metapodal plates. Ventrianal shield with three or four pairs of setae in addition to circumanal setae; para-anal and post-anal setae similar in length. soft opisthogastric cuticle with 0���3 pairs of setae. Peritreme and peritrematic plate ��� Peritreme about as wide as stigma, usually extending forward beyond level of j 1. Spermathecal apparatus ��� Indistinct.

Male ��� Unknown. Remarks ��� The indistinct sperm access system in Podocinella and the apparent absence of males in this genus lead to the assumption that species of this genus could reproduce by thelytoky. This type of parthenogenesis has been proven by Wong (1967) for Podocinum pacificum., Published as part of Santos, Jandir C., Mineiro, Jeferson L. de C. & de Moraes, Gilberto J., 2019, Complementary description of Podocinella misella (Berlese, 1913) (Acari: Podocinidae) and a key to world species of the genus, pp. 181-187 in Acarologia 59 (2) on pages 185-186, DOI: 10.24349/acarologia/20194321, http://zenodo.org/record/4502927, {"references":["Evans G.

Podocinidae Berlese is known in South America from only one species described from Brazil and several other locations on the continent. A complementary description of Podocinella misella (Berlese) is presented based on the morphology of adult females from litter collected in different parts of Brazil. Complementary characterization of the genus and a key to distinguish the five recognizable world Podocinella species are also presented., Acarologia, 59, 181-187

Leg II coxa: 0,0/1,0/1,0; trochanter: 1,0/1,0/2,1; femur: 2,2/2,2/1,1; genu: 1,2/0,2/1,1; tibia: 1,1/1,2/1,1. Leg III coxa: 0,0/1,0/1,0; trochanter: 1,1/2,0/1,0; femur: 1,2/1,1/0,1 genu: 1,2/1,2/0,1; tibia: 1,1/1,2/1,1. Leg IV coxa: 0,0/1,0/0,0; trochanter: 1,1/2,0/1,0; femur: 1,2/1,1/0,1; genu: 1,2/1,2/0,0; tibia: 1,1/1,2/0,1. Numbers of setae on other leg I segments: genu 10 and tibia 8; given their reduce diameter, chaetotaxy could not be reliably accounted for. Number of setae on tarsus I not counted; number of setae on other tarsi: 18. Most setae aciculate and smooth (except av femur IV clearly 3-4 tined); some dorsal setae of genu, tibia and basi-tarsus of legs II-IV discreetly barbed (usually difficult to discern). Remarks. The number and position of setae on femur I of this species is essentially the same as reported by Santos et al. (2017) for Podocinum, based on the examination of P. bengalensis Bhattacharyya, P. pacificum (Berlese), P. sagax (Berlese) and P. tupinamba Santos, Martins, Britto & Moraes, except that al 2 is distinctly more anteriad of av and that pl 1 and pl 2 migrate ventrally. A comparison of the specimens collected with type specimens of P. misella was not possible, because the type specimens could not be located; according Castagnoli & Pegazzano (1985) the types are missing. Evans & Hyatt (1958) provided a complementary description of this species based on specimens collected in Tomohon, Sulawesi (mentioned as N.E. Celebes), Indonesia and Jamaica. Hurlbutt (1972) presented a new complementary description based on specimens collected from Morogoro river (Tanzania) and reviewed the specimens used by Evans & Hyatt (1958) collected in Celebes. The specimens that we examined from Brazil agree well with the redescription of Podocinella misella by Hurlbutt (1972). While his description was rather detailed, it included no setal measurements, leg chaetotaxy or details of the hypostome. Despite the missing information, we concluded that the specimens we collected belong P to. misella, because other features are sufficiently detailed, in addition to the fact that approximate setal length can be inferred from the illustrations provided and that setations of femur, genu and tibia (most variable segments between species) are provided., Published as part of Santos, Jandir C., Mineiro, Jeferson L. de C. & de Moraes, Gilberto J., 2019, Complementary description of Podocinella misella (Berlese, 1913) (Acari: Podocinidae) and a key to world species of the genus, pp. 181-187 in Acarologia 59 (2) on pages 182-184, DOI: 10.24349/acarologia/20194321, http://zenodo.org/record/4502927, {"references":["Berlese A. 1913.
