Abstract:
Objective To investigate the species of Cheyletoidea mites breeding in the culture environment of Eupolyphaga sinensis and to observe the morphology of Eucheyletia reticulata Cunliffe. Methods The soil samples from an E. sinensis farm in northern Anhui were collected. The mites in the soil samples were separated directly under a microscope and the glass speci?mens were made to observe the morphological feature of the mites under a light microscope,then the mites species were identi?fied and classified based on the morphological characteristics. Results In the culture soil of E. sinensis,totally 7 kinds of Chey?letoidea mites were isolated,namely Eucheyletia reticulata Cunliffe,Cheyletus eruditus Schrank,Cheyletus malaccensis Oudemans,Cheyletus troussarti Oudemans,Cheyletus aveisor Rohdendorz,Acaropsis sollers Rohdendorz and Cheletomor?pha lepidopterorum Shaw. They belonged to genera Eucheyletia,Cheletomorpha,Acaropsis and Cheyletus of Cheyletidae Leach family. The Eucheyletia reticulata Cunliffe was firstly found in the culture environment of E. sinensis,and its gnathosoma was large,the pedipalpal femurs were expanding and there were two strips of comb hair and two smooth bristles on the pedipal?pal tarsus,and the back of the body was covered with two pieces of tergum,which were decorated with reticular pattern. The body and foot setae were fan?shape. Conclusions There are various of Cheyletoidea mites found in the breeding environment of E. sinensis. These mites are important species for pest control in the culture environments of E. sinensis. Related measures should be taken to prevent the excessive growth of Cheyletoidea mites,so as to avoid the adverse effects on the quality and quan?tity of E. sinensis.
