Abstract
This study was conducted in the northwestern region of the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, to determine mite species of the family Phytoseiidae in patches of native forest. Fifteen species belonging to five genera were collected on 18 plant species. The most frequent phytoseiids were Euseius citrifolius Denmark & Muma and Amblyseius tunus (DeLeon), collected on 15 and 10 plant species, respectively. The largest diversities of phytoseiids were observed on Mabea fistulifera (Euphorbiacea), Bauhinia sp. (Fabaceae) and Banisteria sp. (Malpighiaceae), with nine, eight and six species, respectively.Keywords
