Out of those, 5 are predators, 13 are parasites and remaining 9 are phoretic in habits. A majority of the mites appeared to be unknown species and their descriptions and illustrations will be published elsewhere after conformation of their novelties. Altogether a total of 830 specimens of insects belonging to 8 orders were examined in the present investigation. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Proceedings of the Zoological Society Springer Journals
