Schizotetranychus lespedezae Beglyarov and Mitrofanov (Acari: Tetranychidae) were recorded and described from the leaves of the Pongamia pinnata (Milletia pinnata L.) in UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru, the studies on Schizotetranychus lespedezae web mites depicts their unique aspects. Spider mites have become serious pests in agriculture and forestry, as a side-effect of the excessive use of artificial chemical compounds. Studies on this group have developed exponentially mainly because of their practical importance as pests. Mean no. of male off springs of S. lespedezae reproduced by each mated female was ranging from , with a mean of ± Mean no. of female off springs of S. lespedezae laid by each mated female mite was ± (Range=). | Biological studies of Schizotetranychus lespedezae beglyarov and mitrofanov (Acari: Tetranychidae) on Pongamia pinnata (Milletia pinnata L.)
