چکیده
The taxonomy of the genus Stylophoronychus (Acari: Tetranychidae) is reviewed. The synonymy of Stylophoronychus Prasad, 1975 and Sinotetranychus Ma & Yuan, 1980 is accepted and the former has priority. As a result, the following new combinations are noted: Stylophoronychus guangzhouensis (Ma & Yuan) and Stylophoronychus insularis (Flechtmann). S. baghensis (Prasad) is newly recorded from the moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) in Fujian, China, and additional data on its morphology are also provided. A key to females of six known species of Stylophoronychus is provided.

Typhlodromus bambusae Ehara is a dominant predator species associated with the spider mite Schizotetranychus nanjingensis Ma & Yuan on the giant bamboo ( Phyllostachys pubscens ) in Fujian, China. In the field, increased densities of T. bambusae were associated with reduced densities of S. nanjingensis on bamboo leaves. Laboratory studies at 22-30¡C on a diet of S. nanjingensis showed that fema...
