Abstract

Medicinal plants have numerous usages in human life. Some of them were used in cure of human diseases nowadays. Numerous phytophagous agents were found on them. Their damage is considerable some year currently our faunistic information are not sufficient. In this order mites associated with aerial parts of some medicinal plants (Asteraceae) including Yarrow, Chicory, Thistle, Acanthus, Russian Knapweed, Safflower, Chamomile, Echinops, Prickly Lettuce, Artemisia, Centaurea, and Sun flower, were collected from aerial plant parts (beating over a white surface) and the specimens were mounted on microscope slides in Hoyer’s medium. All specimens were examined under an Olympus BX51 microscope (DIC). In this study six species (Tetranychoidea) were collected and identified. Among them two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) was the dominant species and widely distributed, also false spider mite. The scientific names of phytophagous mites are below: -- Tetranychidae: Tetranychus urticae Koch, Tetranychus turkestani (Ugarov & Nikolski), Eutetranychus orientalis (Klein), Bryobia mirmoeyedii Khanjani, Bryobia praetiosa Koch. -- Tenuipalpidae: Aegyptobia salicicola Al-Gboory.
