A new acari species, ,Amblyseius arcus n. sp., is described from Korea. This species was collected on the deciduous plants, Quercus acutissima, Morus alba, and Viburnum wrightii at Whasim-ri, Soyang-myon, Wanju-gun, Chollabuk-do, Korea.

Experiments were conducted to study the functional response of Amblyseius longispinosus Evans to egg densities (10-80) of Tetranychus urtica Koch under different egg distributions (clumped & uniform) and arena sizes (3, 9 & 16 $cm^2$). The searching success of A. longispinosus was affected by the spatial distribution and density of the prey but not by the arena size. there was a highly significant negative correlation (r=-0.85; p=0.0001) between predation amount and distances between preys. The predation response showed a type III functional response. The random predator equation satisfactorily described A. longispinosus predation. The search rate ranged from 0.1030 to 0.1504 under distribution of the prey while it ranged from 0.0546 to 0.276 under uniform distribution.

Predaceous phytoseiid mites can be important components in integrated mite management program including bio-logical control of spider mites. While conducting population study of prey-predator system in pear orchards, 6 predaceous phytoseiids were found. Amblyseius womersleyi, A. eharai, A. kokufuensi and A. finlandicus were mostly found from tree canopy. While A. rademacheri was restricted in ground vegetation, A. makuwa was equally distributed in ground vegetation and tree trunk. Some ecological information for each species was reviewed. Strate-gies for their potential utility in pest management program and future study area were discussed.

Susceptibility of the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis to 8 insecticides was evaluated. In treatments with insecticides tested, 78-92% of adult female predators survived after 168 hrs after treatment. Adult female predators treated with insecticides tested produced 62.6-93.4% as many eggs as did control females and eclosion of eggs deposited by treated predators was not affected. Moreover, hatch percentage of P. persimilis eggs and survival of nymphs were not seriously affected by exposure to the insecticides tested. Immatures of P. persimilis survived on the leaf disc treated with insecticides tested and 98-100% of immature predators reached adulthood. Based on the results, insecticides tested are expected to be promising candidates for use in integrated pest management program with P. persimilis.

The expenment was conducted to study the foraging behavior of Amblyseius hngisp~nosus for eggs of Tetranychus urticoe. When preys were abundant, A. longispinosus repeated a series of foraging process (feeding, after-feeding movement, restmy, and searching) The time (Mean\ulcorner SD) spent for these components were 6 83+ 1.73. 3 OOi 1.66. 93.57+ 30 19. and -0.00 min., respectively. Afterfeeding movement was chractetired as a complex one-way circular moving path with a slow speed (0.09 mm/sec) and area-restricted Escaping movement was fast (0 31 mm/sec), more straight in direction, and edge-oriented walking. Positions of prey consumption of A. longispinosus were distributed in clump. KEY WORDS Foraging behavior, nlovlng path, Arnblyseius longispinosus, Tetranychus urtlcae.

Biological control of Tetranychus kanzawai by Phytoseiulus persimilis on the Angelica utilis was done in 'walk-in' plastic tunnels. The population of T. kanzawai nymphs and adults per 4 cm2 in damaged leaf decreased from 25 mites on July 22 after 25 predatory mites per m2 were released on July 23 to 0.4 mites on September 9 and then rose to 9.3 mites on October 16, 1997. Phytoseiulus persimilis could suppress T. kanzawai to low population level from August 13 to October 1.
