Phytoseiidae
The Phytoseiidae are a family of mites which feed on thrips and other mite species. They are often used as a biological control agent for managing mite pests. Because of their usefulness as biological control agents, interest in Phytoseiidae has steadily increased over the past century. Public awareness of the biological control potential of invertebrates has been growing, though mainly in the US and Europe. In 1950, there were 34 known species. Today, there are 2,731 documented species organized in 90 genera and three subfamilies. Subfamilies The family Phytoseiidae contains these subfamilies: * Amblyseiinae Muma, 1961 * Phytoseiinae Berlese, 1916 * Typhlodrominae Scheuten, 1857 Anatomy and life cycle Phytoseiid eggs can be found along the vein of the bottom side of a leaf; They are oblong and translucent white.
