| This study proves the occurrence of 60 mite species belonging to 42 genera under 22 families. These mites are belonging to 4 suborders Acaridida (Astigmata), Actinedida (Prostigmata), Gamasida (Mesostigmata) and Oribatida (Cryptostigmata). The astigmatid mites in this study were represented by 7 families, 17 genera and 23 different species. On the other hand the number of mites' species in suborder Prostigmata was 26 species in 18 genera belong to 10 families. The obtained data indicated that the mesostigmatids were represented by 9 different species in 5 genera and 3 different families. The current study showed that the mites that belong to suborder Cryptostigmata were 2 mites only, 2 genera in 2 families. The most abundant mites were Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Caloglyphus berlesi and Rhizoglyphus echinopus (Acaridae); Suidasia nesbitti (Suidasidae); Glycyphagus domesticus (Glycyphagidae); Dermatophagoides farinae (Pyroglyphidae); Cheyletus malaccensis and C. eruditus (Cheyletidae); Pymotes herfesi (Pyemotidae); Cunaxa capreolus (Cunaxidae); Orthotydeus californicus and O. kochi (Tydeidae); Blattisocius keegani and Proctolaelaps pygmaeus (Ascidae). The stigmaeid mite, S. africanus was determined in all tested regions with high numbers. | ||||
