Abstract
The life cycle of Hermannia scabra is described from observations made on field samples and laboratory cultures. The main diagnostic characters of the various immature stages are given. A technique is described for the culture of the mite in laboratory. Under laboratory conditions, the life cycle from egg deposition to adult emergence is about 185 days at 20[degree] C. Monthly samplings over the period of a year from broad-leaves woodland suggest that one generation occurs during each year.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
