The population dynamics of the coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae) infesting the coconut fruits was studied during September 1999 - May 2000 in Tamil Nadu, India where the mite is a new pest. The densities of active mites and eggs were not significantly correlated with weather factors. Mites were more abundant on the post-fertilisation bunch 3 drupes (fruits) (6.0 mites/7 mm2) than on the other drupes. They were most crowded on the fourth (outer to inner) tepal (bract) of the bunch 3 perianth (2.6 mites/7 mm2 ). No significant difference was evident between populations of A. guerreronis from the drupe and tepal surfaces. However, eggs were more numerous on the tepal surface (4.9 eggs /tepal) than on the drupe surfac...
