Minas Gerais is the largest coffee producer State in Brazil. In the Cerrado coffee region (Patrocínio), in the south of the Minas Gerais (Machado) and in the Zona da Mata Mineira (Viçosa), all regions in Minas Gerais State, it was studied the mite fauna occurring on the coffee plants leaves. In this culture inhabits phytophagous mites, predatory mites and mites with a varied of feeding habits. This study has the objective to known the mites species diversity associated to coffee plants in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and to elaborate a dicotomic and illustrated key joining the existent information from the literature with the data obtained in field, detailing and producing information that will turn easy the species identification. Ten plants from each studied area were chosen in the period from august of the 2006 till January of 2007. Were collected 12 leaves per plant summing 120 leaves per area. Were found 213 mites specimens from 14 families, 22 generous and 30 different species. The species found in this study were Amblyseius acalyphus, Amblyseius compositus, Amblyseius neochiapensis, Amblyseius herbicolus, Amblyseius operculatus, Amblyseius saopaulus, Euseius citrifolius, Iphiseiodes zuluagai, (Phytoseiidae); Homeopronematus sp., Metapronematus sp. (Iolinidae); Agistemus pallinii, Agistemus brasiliensis e Zetzellia malvinae (Stigmaeidae); Cheletomimus sp., Cheletacarus sp. (Cheyletidae); Dactyloscirus sp., Armascirus sp. (Cunaxidae); Brevipalpus phoenicis (Tenuipalpidae); Oligonychus yothersi, Oligonychus ilicis (Tetranychidae); Neotropacarus sp. (Acaridae); Schevtchenkella sp. (Eriophyidae); Fungitarsonemus sp., Tarsonemus sp. (Tarsonemidae); Oripoda sp. (Oripodidae); Scheloribates praeincisus, Hemileus sp. (Scheloribatidae); Lorryia formosa e Lorryia sp. (Tydeidae). The results pointed out to a large mite diversity. The species A. pallinii, A. acalyphus, A. operculatus, A. neochiapensis, A. saopaulus, O. yothersi, Scheloribates praeincisus e os gêneros Cheletacarus sp., Hemileus sp. Metapronemaus sp., Neotropacarus sp., Oripoda sp. and Schevtchenkella sp. are reported for the first time in the coffee plantations in the Minas Gerais State.
