The study of the predatory mite family Cunaxidae in central Thailand was conducted during October 2002 - September 2003. Four subfamilies, 9 genera and 33 species were found. The subfamily Bonziinae was represented by the genus Neoscirula with 2 species. Coleoscirinae was represented by 3 genera: Coleoscirus with 5; Pseudobonzia with 3 and Scutasirus with 1 species. Cunaxiinae was represented by 3 genera: Armascirus with 2; Cunaxa with 9 and Dactyloscirus with 2 species. Cunaxoidinae was represented by 2 genera: Neocunaxoides with 4 and Pulaeus with 5 species. Of the 33 recorded species, in 9 genera, 16 species were first record for Thailand and 15 unidentified species were found. Keys to subfamilies, genera and species were provided. All species were described and illustrated. Genus and species limits were based on female characters such as types of setae on ventral side of hypostome, numbers of palp segments and their chaetotaxy, shape of tarsi, numbers of dorsal setae, numbers and details of idiosomal shields, types and length of various dorsal setae, and chaetotaxy of legs. Most cunaxids species were found in soil and litter habitats.

Mites (Acari) for Pest Control is an extremely comprehensivepublication, covering in depth the 34 acarine families that containmites useful for the control of pest mites and insects, nematodesand weeds. In addition to providing information on each relevantacarine family, the book includes essential information on theintroduction, culture and establishment of acarine biocontrolagents, the effects of the host plants, agrochemicals andenvironmental factors on mites used in biological control anddiscusses commercial and economic considerations in theiruse. Mites are now used in various ways for biological control, witha growing number of species being sold commercially throughout theworld. The authors of this landmark publication, who have betweenthem a huge wealth of experience working with mites in biologicalcontrol programs, have put together a book that will for many yearsbe the standard reference on the subject. The book will be of great value to all those working in cropprotection and biological control both in research as well as incommercial operations, including acarologists, entomologists,integrated pest management specialists, agricultural and plantscientists. Libraries in all universities and researchestablishments where these subjects are studied and taught shouldall have copies on their shelves.

This Checklist brings together for the first time the names of all 2620 described species of mites that are known to occur in Australia. It gives the correct nomenclature for each species, and places every species in the appropriate genus and family, using the latest available classification. The Checklist also provides a bibliography of information on biogeography, economic importance and, in the case of pests, biology and control. This work is a baseline from which more detailed and specific research projects will draw their fundamental data.
