Halotydeus destructor is a species of earth mites in the family of Penthaleidae, first described by Tucker in 1925 as Penthaleus destructor.[1][2]
Pest status[edit]
This species is a major winter pest of a variety of crops and pastures in southern Australia.[3] As a major pest, it has been the subject of much study: some studies looking at its response to pesticides,[4][5] others at biological controls, some at both,[6] and others at its spread and potential spread.[7]
