Abstract
The present study was directed towards the habitat of various predaceous actinedid (Prostigmata) mites associated with different soil field crops. Samples collected monthly from maize, cotton and soybean as summer field crops and faba bean, wheat, clover and onion as winter field ones. Incidence study conducted during the seasons of (2012/2013 and 2013/2014) revealed the occurrence of 33 different prostigmatid mite species in 9 families under 18 genera. These are Euopodidae (2 species), Erynetidae (1 species), Tydeidae (3 species), Bdellidae (2 species), Cunaxidae (9 species), Raphignathidae (3 species), Cheyletidae (11 species and one species for each Anystidae and Trombididae.The dominant families were Cheyletidae and Cunaxidae with the dominant species Cheletonella caucasica (Volgin), Cheyletus malaccensis Oudemans, C. eruditus (Shrank) (Cheyletidae) and Neocunaxoides andrei (Baker and Hoffman) (Cunaxidae) and Eupodes aegyptiacus Abou Awad and El-Bagoury (Euopodidae).The winter field crops were represented by 26 mite species and faba bean harbored the highest number (10 species), while, the summer field crops recorded 31 mite species of which maize soil harbored the high number (18 species).The most abundant mites were Cunaxa capreolus Berlese and C. setirostris (Family Cunaxidae) associated with 3 and 4 soil field crops, respectively and the cheyletid mites, C. eruditus and C. malaccensis which associated with four diferent soil field crops, respectively.
