Abstract: The tydeid mite, Tydeus aegyptiaca (Rasmy and El-Bagoury) (Tydeidae) was reared individually on the fungi Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternate and Fusarium sp. and the developmental period, the longevity of females and males and also female fecundity were recorded under various temperatures. The mite developed faster when reared at higher temperature 35 ºC, whereas the mite developed fast on Aspergillus niger. The study indicated that T. aegyptiaca fed as fungivorous mites and not as predator when the different fungi and the mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae were introduced to it as foods.
