Integrative taxonomy demonstrates the unexpected synonymy between two predatory mite species: Cydnodromus idaeus and C. picanus (Acari: Phytoseiidae)
2011
Contact: tixier@supagro.inra.fr; Species of the mite family Phytoseiidae are well known as predators of mite pests all over the world. Their identification is thus of great interest for biological control. The specimens examined in this study belong to the species Cydnodromus idaeus (described from Brazil) and C. picanus (described from Chile). They were collected together on the same plant in Argentina. These species are mainly differentiated by the presence/absence of the dorsal solenostomes (gland openings) gd2. Some morphometric differences were observed between the Argentinian specimens and the type material of C. idaeus and C. picanus; however, they were not sufficient to support a sp…
The concept of genus within the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Parasitiformes): historical review and phylogenetic analyses of the genus Neoseiulus Hugh…

Systematic studies on the family Phytoseiidae were first conducted at the beginning of the 20th century but increased greatly after the Second World War. Various classifications have been proposed based on different characters such as: dorsal, ventral, and leg chaetotaxy; the shape of ventrianal and sternal shields; the shape of the insemination apparatus (spermatheca) and spermatodactylus; the number of teeth on the movable digit of chelicera; and dorsal and ventral adenotaxy. The genus concepts developed over the last five decades can be divided into two main categories or hypotheses. The first, supported mainly by Chant and McMurtry, focuses on dorsal and ventral chaetotaxy, and the gene…
Investigations sur la distribution des arthropodes cécidogènes (inducteurs de «galles» sur les plantes) au long de la «Côte bourguignonne», entre Cha…

15 pages; National audience; Les arthropodes inducteurs de galles sur les végétaux figurent parmi lesherbivores entretenant les relations les plus intimes, et corrélativement les plus étroites, avec leurs plantes hôtes respectives. À cet égard, il semble donc assez naturel de réaliser des inventaires superposables à des unités phytogéographiques caractérisées. Le présent inventaire répond à cette approche en se focalisant sur une unité bien définie, la « Côte bourguignonne » prise au sens large, de Chatillon-sur-Seine à Mâcon, les observations s’étendant à une dizaine d’alliancesphytosociologiques typiques de ces côtes calcaires en ambiance plus ou moins xérothermique.Inventaire entomologiq…
