Tuckerella ornata (Tucker), A mite new for Brazil and other tetranychoidea (Acari) from the state of Pará

Tuckerella ornata (Tucker) is, for the first time, recorded from Brazil (Belem, State of Pará) and also for the first time on cocoa. The female is carmine in color with white dorsal fan-like setae. It was found on woody stems of cocoa plants, where most of the outer tissues have turned corky, but, where areas of live tissue are still present; it was also found inside cracks of the stems. Other Tetranychoid mites from Pará include: - Tenuipalpus heveae Baker, found on the lower face of median to old rubber tree leaves (Hevea sp.); rather large populations were observed, causing a light leaf distortion and bronzing; it is not considered as a pest. - Oligonychus mangiferus (Rahman & Punjab) causes intense leaf bronzing on Terminalia catappa L., an ornamental tree. Rather large populations of this mite were observed on the upper leaf surface; much dirt is caught in their webbings. - Tetranychus desertorum Banks was observed damaging jute, Corchorus capsularis L., causing intense chlorosis to the leaves. Collected at Alenquer, Pará.Assinala-se, pela primeira vez no Brasil e também pela primeira vez em cacaueiros, a presença do ácaro Tuckerella ornata (Tucker, 1926).

Ácaros encontrados sôbre maçãs de procedência argentina

Apples from Argentina showed large numbers of mite eggs and some diapausing females. They were reared on leaves of lima beans. From the eggs acari related to Panonychus ulmi were obtained and also specimens of Cheyletidae. The diapausing females proved to be Tetranychus telarius and large populations were obtained from four females. There was also one specimem of Phytoseiid mite
