Given the scarce knowledge available on the biological aspects of the family Chrysopidae fed with phytophagous mites, the present work aims to study the life cycle of the generalist predator, Ceraeochrysa cincta (Schneider) fed with Raoiella indica Hirst, in order to obtain information that will be useful in the integrated management of this pest, which can damage several species of palms. Only 6.4% of the F0 generation fed only R. indica reaches the adult stage. Adults originating from the F0 generation did not exceed the preoviposition period. Adding Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier) eggs to the diet, the F2 generation presented the following results: 23% reached the adult stage, the embryonic period was 6.5 ± 0.5 d. The longest instar (9.3 ± 2.1 d) was 3rd instar. The adult had an average longevity of 81.7 ± 54.9 d. Statistically, there was no significant difference between the survival of females and males (P = 0.351 > 0.05). The preoviposition, oviposition and postoviposition periods were 6.8 ± 0.9, 58.92 ± 8.31 and, 54.85 ± 10.86 d respectively. The average oviposition rate was 2.04 ± 0.91 eggs per day per female. Population statistics Ro = 0.5, T = 128.64 d, rm. = 0.005 and λ = 1.005 indicated poor development of C. cincta using R. indica as primary dam. According to the information obtained, it is concluded that R. indica does not satisfy the nutritional requirements of C. cincta, and as a consequence, needs another food source to complete its biological cycle.

用 Raoiella indica（Acari：Tenuipalpidae）喂养的 Ceraeochrysa cincta（神经翅目：Chrysopidae）的发育

鉴于对以植食性螨为食的 Chrysopidae 科的生物学方面的可用知识匮乏，本工作旨在研究以 Raoiella indica Hirst 为食的全能捕食者 Ceraeochrysa cincta (Schneider) 的生命周期，以获得能够可用于这种害虫的综合管理，这种害虫会损害多种棕榈树。仅饲喂籼稻的 F0 代中只有 6.4% 达到成虫阶段。来自 F0 代的成虫没有超过产卵前期。在日粮中加入谷蝽（Olivier）鸡蛋，F2 代呈现以下结果：23% 达到成虫期，胚胎期为 6.5 ± 0.5 d。最长的龄期 (9.3 ± 2.1 d) 为 3 龄期。成虫的平均寿命为 81.7 ± 54.9 d。据统计，雌性和雄性的存活率无显着差异（P = 0.351 > 0.05）。产卵前、产卵期和产卵后期分别为 6.8 ± 0.9、58.92 ± 8.31 和 54.85 ± 10.86 d。平均产卵率为每只雌性每天 2.04 ± 0.91 个卵。人口统计 Ro = 0.5, T = 128.64 d, rm。= 0.005 和 λ = 1.005 表明使用籼稻作为主要大坝的 C. cincta 发育不良。根据获得的信息，可以得出结论，R. indica 不满足 C. cincta 的营养需求，因此需要另一种食物来源来完成其生物循环。平均产卵率为每只雌性每天 2.04 ± 0.91 个卵。人口统计 Ro = 0.5, T = 128.64 d, rm。= 0.005 和 λ = 1.005 表明使用籼稻作为主要大坝的 C. cincta 发育不良。根据获得的信息，可以得出结论，R. indica 不满足 C. cincta 的营养需求，因此需要另一种食物来源来完成其生物循环。平均产卵率为每只雌性每天 2.04 ± 0.91 个卵。人口统计 Ro = 0.5, T = 128.64 d, rm。= 0.005 和 λ = 1.005 表明使用籼稻作为主要大坝的 C. cincta 发育不良。根据获得的信息，可以得出结论，R. indica 不满足 C. cincta 的营养需求，因此需要另一种食物来源来完成其生物循环。
