Comparative morphological and biological studies of two rhagidiid mites: Robustocheles deltacus and Rhagidia qaliubiensis
International audience The two rhagidiid species: Robustocheles (R.) deltacus and Rhagidia (R.) qaliubiensis were able to develop successfully from egg to adult on different fungal diets, but failed to lay eggs. When they were reared on larvae of cotton springtail Lepidocenitus insertus (Hand.), lar...
