The soil mite Gaeolaelaps (Hypoaspis) aculeifer (Canestrini) (Acari: Laelapidae) as a predator of the invasive citrus mealybug Delottococcus aberiae (De Lotto) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae): Implications for biological control

Soil-dwelling predatory mites are important biocontrol agents of several pests. Despite their wide prey range, they have never been evaluated as predators of mealybugs that inhabit the soil. Here, we tested the potential of the soil mite Gaeolaelaps (Hypoaspis) aculeifer (Canestrini) (Acari: Laelapi...
