Abstract

The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an economically importance problem invasive tissue borer to date palm trees in Arabian countries mostly young trees less than20 years old, where the stem of the young palm was soft, juicy and easily penetrated.. Biodiversity of mites associated with the red palm weevil R. ferrugineusis varying degrees of bio-relationship between mites and RPW, ectoparasitic, endoparasitic, predaceous, phoretic and fungivorus mites. The relationships of predatism and parasitism play an important role as biocontrol agents in the biological control program against R.P.W. Some families from mites were isolated from adults, pupae (cocoons) and cores around tunnel borded and larvae inside the palm trees in Egypt, Saudi Arabian, and Emirates. Such as Trachy Uropodidae Trematuridae, Uropodidae, Macrochilidae, Ascidae, Lealapidae, Sejidae, Digamasellidae.
