Abstract
A survey was carried out in Sicilian vineyards to ascertain the phytoseiid mites associated with this crop. So far 19 species have been collected, the two dominant ones being Phytoseius finitimus Ribaga and Typhlodromus exhilaratus Ragusa. A study of population fluctuations of phytoseiidae in a vineyard was also undertaken from April 1987 to February 1988. The population’s trend was irregular with a peak in January. This was most probably due to the particularly favourable weather conditions during the sampling period.
