Abstract
The insect pests and mites associaated with date palm trees in the 8 Wilayat of Al-Dakhliya region, Sultanate of Oman were surveyed throughout the three successive years 1994-1996. Nineteen insect pests belonging to 16 families and 8 orders in addition to 2 mites belonging to two families from the order Acari were recorded on the different parts of the palms. Insect pests were Schistocerca gregaria (Forsk.) (Orthoptera: Acrididae); Psammotermes sp. (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae); unidentified thrips species (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). 8 Homopteran species including Platyplura arabica Meyr. (Cicadidae); Ommatissus bionotatus lybicus DeBerg. (Tropiduchide); Pseudaspidoproctus hyphaeniacus (Hall) (Margarodidae); Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) (Pseudococcidae); Aonidieila orientalis (New.). Fiorinia !iodate° Takagi, Pariatoria blachardii (Targ.- Tozz.) (Diaspididae); Phoenicococcus marlatti (Ckll.). (Phoenicococcidae), 2 Lepidopteran species; Batrachedra amydraula (Meyr.) (Momphidae) and Arenipses sabella (Hamps.) (Pyralidae) whereas, 3 Coleoptran species; Jebusea hammerschmidtii Reiche (Cerambycidae), Oryctes agememnon (Burm.) (Scarabaeidae) and Coccotrypes dactyliporda (F.) (Scolytidae), a Dipteran species, Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel (Tephritidae) and 2 Hymenopteran species; Pastes hebroeus F. and Vespa orientells L. (Vespidae). Mite pests were Oligonychus afrasiaticus (McGreg.) (Tetranychidae) and Raoiella indica Hirst. (T enuipalpidae). Field observation indicated that the most economically important pests were B.amydraula, 0. lybicus, 0.agamemnon, scale insects in addition to the mite O.afrasiaticus.
