Afrotropics • Tropical and Subtropical Grasslands, Savannas, and Shrublands

Yet another growing threat to this region is the invasion of alien plant species, which cover up to 20 percent of the land area in some places.

 Bee Mites - Family Cheyletidae: Cheletophyes, Nodele, Eucheyletia
The genus Cheletophyes is distributed in the Oriental, Afrotropic, and Neotropic realms with eight species obligatory associated with bees of the genus Xylocopa (several records from other hosts are probably accidental) (Fain and Bochkov, 2001a,b).
All stages of these mites are predators of different microarthropods feeding on provision in the bees' nests (Eickwort, 1994).
This genus includes five species collected from forest litter, under bark, on bostrichid beetles, galleries of bark beetles, nest of sparrow (Passer), and grain in the Holarctic, Oriental, and Afrotropic realms (Fain and Bochkov, 2001a, Kuznetsov, 1977; Thewke and Enns, 1968; Wafa and Soliman, 1968).
