This site is entirely dedicated to Phytoseiidae Taxonomy and identification. It proposes a brief presentation of the family, polytomous identification keys to species of three genera, an identification key to the species of European vineyards and the type specimens deposited in our collection at Montpellier SupAgro, CBGP Montpellier. The keys have been in part developped thanks to the work of F. Akashi-Hernandes (post-dcotoral position), M. Kanouh (PhD) and A. Baldassar (Master student). We greatly expect the contribution of the world Phytoseiidae taxonomists to improve this site.
