Abstract

Mites belonging to the family stigmaeidae are known predators against the phytophagous mites and small soft-bodied insects. A survey was conducted to explore the predatory mite fauna of Punjab (Pakistan), a new predatory mite species of genus Eustigmaeus(Eustigmaeus hooriaae)was collected from Ameen Pur Bangla, 20 miles away north from district Faisalabad (Punjab) from Triticum aestivum (straw husk) by Bilal Saeed Khan and described here in this manuscript. Specimens were mounted on the glass slides with the help of Hoyer's medium. The drawings of different body parts were made with the help of an ocular grid in a high power microscope. These specimens were compared with the already described species. Ceremonial description, illustration of main body parts, host range and comparison remarks are also given. Eighteen (18) paratype females were collected. Twelve (12) from the same collection data and six (6) were collected from R.Y.Khan from leaf litter. All specimens were deposited in the Acarology Research Laboratory, Department of Agri. Entomology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan.
