“…More than 1,044 species have been assigned to the genus Aceria Keifer, 1944 with approximately 51 of them being found in Egypt to date. With this study, Egyptian eriophyoid fauna increased to 121 species from 37 genera (Zaher 1984;Elhalawany 2012Elhalawany , 2015Elhalawany , 2018Elhalawany and Ueckermann 2015Elhalawany et al 2014Elhalawany et al , 2019aElhalawany et al , b, 2020Elhalawany et al , 2021Halawa 2015).…”

Eriophyoids have a significant economic impact as weed pests, particularly when it comes to the malformations they can occasionally cause, such as rusting, bronzing, leaf rolling, erineum, bud galls, stunting, blisters, leaf galls, damaged seeds, and mosaic virus disease. Six eriophyoid mite species collected from Egyptian weeds are described. Aceria newplucheae sp. nov. is described as a vagrant on the leaf axil of Pluchea dioscoridis (L.) DC. (Compositae). A complementary description to the firstrecorded species, Aceria chenopodia Xue, Sadeghi & Hong infesting Chenopodium album L. and Chenopodium murale L. (Amaranthaceae) in Egypt was done based on females, males and immature stages. Three eriophyoid mite species have been synonymized: Aceria noxia Flechtmann & Tassi is a junior synonym of Aceria lividus Elhalawany; Aceria mosalahi Lewandowski & Elsayed is a junior synonym of Aceria dioscoridis (Soliman & Abou-Awad); and Aceria aegyptiacus (Soliman & Abou-Awad) is a junior synonym of Aceria tosichella Keifer. Furthermore, Vittacus plucheae Abou-Awad & Nasr, a vagrant causing rusting on P. dioscoridis, is designated as a junior synonym of Neooxycenus plucheae Abou-Awad and re-described herein.

The invasive weed cogon grass Imperata cylindrica (Poaceae) is a perennial grass not only in crops but also in natural areas, causing economic and environmental damages. In this paper, five new eriophyoid mites (subfamily Phyllocoptinae) infesting Imperata cylindrica are described from Egypt: three new species from genus Abacarus (A. imperatus sp. nov., A. aegyptiacus sp. nov., and A. gizaensis sp. nov.) and two new species from genus Aculodes (A. tinaniensis sp. nov. and A. skorackae sp. nov.). These species are vagrants in grooves between veins on the upper leaf surface; no visible damage was observed. However, A. gizaensis was found wandering mainly on upper young leaves, often near the tips causing discoloration of the leaves. Both adult sexes and immature stages are described and illustrated. The genus Aculodes is recorded from Egypt for the first time.

Five new eriophyoid mites infesting weeds of the family Poaceae are described and illustrated from Egypt. They are Abacarus stagninis sp. nov. from Echinochloa stagnina (Retz.) P. Beauv., vagrants in grooves between veins on the upper leaf surface, causing discoloration of the leaves; and four new species from genus Aceria (A. echinochloae sp. nov., A. barnyardi sp. nov., and A. stagninis sp. nov.) from E. stagnina and E. crus–galli (L.) Beauv., and Aceria pennisetosa sp. nov., from Pennisetum purpureum Schumach. These species are vagrants underneath inner surface of the leaf sheath around stem and no symptoms were observed. However, A. barnyardi sp. nov. is a vagrant underneath inner surface of the leaf sheath around stem and are endoparasitic inside tissue of leaves causing rusted leaves.
