SANCHEZ-CASTRO, Adayakni; RODRIGUEZ-MORELL, Héctor; CHICO-MOREJON, Reynaldo e FERNANDEZ-ARGUDIN, Basilia Miriam. First report of mites on chaya Cnidoscolus chayamansa (Miller) I.M. Johnst.) in Cuba. Rev. Protección Veg. [online]. 2016, vol.31, n.2, pp. 137-139. ISSN 2224-4697.
The aim of this work was to identify the mite fauna on plants of chaya (Cnidoscolus chayamansa (Miller) IM Johnst.) growing in the municipalities of Diez de Octubre and La Habana del Este, Cuba. Thirty leaves collected from the plants with symptoms from February to April 2015 were examined under a Stemi DV4 stereomicroscope; the individual adult specimens were cleared, mounted on microscope slides, observed under an Axioscope microscope with a 40x lense, and identified using the corresponding dichotomous keys. The phytophagous mites Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks), Eutetranychus banksi (McGregor), and an unidentified species of the Eriophyidae family were found, as well as the predator Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans). These mites are reported on chaya for the first time in Cuba.
