Abstract

The
present study was conducted during four years (2013-2016) to throw some light
on the acarofauna of the different fauna in different regions covered
El-Dakahlia Governorate. This study revealed the occurrence of 36 different
mite species belonging to 23 genera and 14 families under four suborders as
follows:Suborder Astigmata(Acaridida) which represented by 16
different species belong to 11 genera and 5 families. Also, Suborder
Prostigmata (Actinedida) represented in this study by 7 mite species belonging
to 4 genera in 4 families. On the other hand, the Suborder Mesostigmata
(Gamasida) was represented by 10 mite species belonging to 5 genera in 3
families. The suborder Cryptostigmata (Oribatida) in this study includedthree
mite species belong to two families. The stored product materials were the most
source of mite abundance (33 different species) and the commonest mites were T.
putrescentiae
, Tarsonemus granaries and P. pygmaeus. On the
other hand, the plant leaves were infested with 3 mites species and the most
abundant mites were Orthotydeus californicus and T. putrescentiae,
but the different tested soil harbored 4 mites, and O. sticta was the
only dominant collected mite. The regions can be
descending arranged as follows: Belkas
(14 species), Meit
Ghamr
(11 species),
Talkha
(10 species), Aga and Sherbein (9 species),
El-Mansoura (8 species), Meneit El-Nasr and Dekirnes (7 species),El-Sinbilawein
(6 species) and El-Manzala
