Despite this, only five species of the Phytoseiidae mite family have been reported from this country so far. This study aims to improve the understanding of Phytoseiidae mites in papaya orchards in Ivory Coast. Sampling was conducted between 2017 and 2018 in three areas of intensive papaya cultivation in Ivory Coast: Anyama Ahoue (Abidjan), Yobouekro (Toumodi), and Ngattakro (Yamoussoukro). It involved the direct collection of mites from papaya leaves. This study identified 12 species of Phytoseiidae, all belonging to the Amblyseiinae subfamily. Among these species, 11 are newly reported for this country, namely Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans), N. teke Pritchard and Baker, Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot, A. tamatavensis Blommers, Proprioseiopsis mexicanus (Garman), P. ovatus (Garman), Iphiseius degenerans (Berlese), Euseius fustis (Pritchard and Baker), E. lokele (Pritchard and Baker), E. nyalensis (El-Badry) and E. ovaloides (Blommers). This study is part of an ongoing census of the mite family Phytoseiidae in Ivory Coast, which must be extended to other crops to improve biological control of crop pests.
