Abstract
This work was conducted to determine the effect of temperature and prey type on the biology of Typhlodrompis enab El-Badry (Acari: phytosiidae). This phytoseiid was reared on three tetranychids, (i. e. Eutetranychus orientalis (Klein), Tetranychus urticae Koch and Panonychus ulmi (Koch)) at 20,25,30°C and 65±5% RH. All life cycle parameters decreased as temperature increased. Obtained relative values for males were generally less than those of females. E. orientalis was the preferred one followed by T. urticae and the least was P. ulmi.
