From: Chris Benedict <Christopher.Benedict@uvm.edu> To: <acarology@nhm.ac.uk> Date: 4/9/03 2:50AM Subject: Tydeids To all: Does anyone have any knowledge of Tydeids on Apples? Bayan, A. (1986) wrote a paper about this topic, but the study took place in Lebanon. He noted that Orthotydeus californicus (Banks) and O. caudatus were present on apple leaves in this local. Additionally, Orthotydeus lambi has been found in Northeastern US on grape leaves by English-Loeb (1998). What I am hoping for is something I can use for visual confirmation, i.e. digital picture, slide etc(I will purchase if need be), of Tydeids. Can anyone help? Chris A.

Subject: publications on Ereynetidae
Dear colleagues,
I am looking for publications on mites, which may kill snails as a result of
parasitism. What I collected from juvenile Mandarina sp. (probably aureola) and
Ogasawarana sp. look ereynetids but it is difficult to get to their species names for
me.
I would appreciate your any published information including keys of Ereyntidae, and
any mites kill and parasitize snails.
Thank you in advance for your help.
