Abstract
Life tables were constructed for the phytoseiid predatory mite Typhlodromus athiasae Porath and Swirski fed on the most suitable prey, immatures of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch, at different temperatures, 15. 20, 25, 28, 30 and 32 °C, and 70% R.H. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) reached its maximum value (0.237 individ­uals/female/day) at 30 C. T.athiasae was able to survive and reproduce on the two- spotted spider mite T.urticae (adults), the red spider mite T.cucurbitacearum (Sayed) (immatures), the citrus brown mite Eutetran­ychus orientatis (Klein) (immatures and adults), the mango leaf mite Ci­saberoptes kenyae Keifer (active stages), the scale insect Parlatoria ziz­yphus (Lucas) (eggs), the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (eggs) and the date palm Phoenix dactylitera L. pollen grains.
