Brevipalpus Phoenicis
''Brevipalpus phoenicis'', also known as the false spider mite, red and black flat mite, and in Australia as the passionvine mite, is a species of mite in the family Tenuipalpidae. This species occurs globally, and is a serious pest to such crops as citrus, tea, papaya, guava and coffee, and can heavily damage numerous other crops. They are unique in having haploid females, a condition caused by a bacterium that change haploid males into females.

It has two sensory rods on tarsus II that distinguish it from another mite species that is known to occur on the same plants, the privet mite, (''Brevipalpus obovatus'' Donn.). A black, "H"-shaped mark occurs on females when raised in temperatures of 68&n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
