| Summary: | The mesostigmatid mite family Phytoseiidae was surveyed in rest areas of Hungarian highways by examination of
leaves collected from arboreal plants. All together 15 species, ca. 20 % of the Hungarian Phytoseiid fauna were recorded.
Seven species were collected from the ring highway around Budapest (M0), ten species were found alongside the northwestern
highway (M1), six-six species were recorded from the north-eastern and south-eastern highways (M3 and M5), and
five species from the area of south-western highway (M7), finally two species were found on the newly built southern
highway (M6). Euseius finlandicus (Oudemans, 1915) was present in most of the sampling sites, while other common species
were Phytoseius macropilis (Banks, 1909); Kampimodromus aberrans (Oudemans, 1930); Neoseiulella aceri (Collyer, 1957)
and Typhlodromus (Typhlodromus) tiliae Oudemans, 1929. Typhloseiulus peculiaris (Kolodochka, 1980) was shown at the
first time from Hungary in the framework of our study, thus a short description and new illustrations are given to this species. |
