Acarologia 44 (1-2), 69-71
Abstract: The biology of Amphitetranychus viennensis (Zacher) (Acari: Tetranychidae) was studied on black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) trees in an orchard of Baraghan in 2002 and also under laboratory conditions at 23 ± 1° C, 75 ± 5% RH and a 16L:8D photoperiod. Females of the mite began their activities near the end of May and produced 3 generations per year. In the laboratory, the mean time for development from egg to egg took 16.18 and 11.93 days for females and males respectively. The average preoviposition, oviposition and postoviposition periods were 2.25, 4.91 and 1.12 days respectively.
