Abstract
Tetranychus tumidus Banks is one of the spider mites more diffused on the banana tree foliage in the world, it damages foliar system and constitutes the third important plague for this cultivation in French Western India. An integrated management program is applied in Cuba from the decade of the 90´s, based in the use of agricultural warning services, forecasting, plant protection and the use of natural enemies (Phytoseiulus macropilis in nursery phase and application of Bacillus thuringiensis in that of development). The identification of natural depredators that feed upon banana red mites in Havana province was the objective of this work, which was realized by the analysis of samples taked weekly from 1986 to 1989, according to methodology of Pérez (1978). The organisms associated to the fitophagous were collected and classified. The nutritional habits of the most common depredators were carried out by means of the breeding of the red mite and their natural enemies, in a reason of 75 to 100 preys /depredator. Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks), Amblyseius sundi Baker (Phytoseiidae), Chrysopa cubana Hagen, Ch. exterior Navás (Chrysopidae), Scolothrips pallidus (Beach) (Thripidae), Stethorus picipes (Casey) (Coccinellidae), were identified as depredators species in all the development phases of T. tumidus and Arthrocnodax sp. (Cecidomiidae) was only in the immature states of the red mite. Phytoseiidae (Acari) were the most numerous, followed by Cecidomiidae (Diptera), Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) and Thripidae (Thysanoptera).
