miteCould you help me to identify the mite that I had found in Shallot Bulbs? I need a specialist confirmation from you. Is the mite is Rhizoglyphus echinoporus? Thank you for your kind attention… Ummu

RESPONSES:

From Rumenda: I have identified the mite on photo, and the result is Rhizoglyphus echinopus. And now I want to ask for your confirmation, if the result true or not.

From Zhang: This mite is not a member of Rhizoglyphus.  Looks like a Tyrophagus. The photo contains not enough details for id.

You may find the follow book (available free online) useful:

From Ghosh: I also have same opinion.
