Abstract: A new species of Tenuipalpus Donnadieu (Acari: Tenuipalpidae), Tenuipalpus odoratus Souza, Castro & Oliveira sp. nov., is described from females, males, deutonymphs, protonymphs and larvae collected on Cedrela odorata L. (Meliaceae) from Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil. A proposed ontogeny of leg chaetotaxy is also included.

The flat mite Tenuipalpus uvae De Leon, 1962 (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) is restricted to the Americas. The only available descriptions of this mite are based on the holotype and 12 paratype females and nymphs from Mexico. This paper focuses on redescribing the species based on the paratypes and new material from Florida (USA) and Brazil. Additionally, a new specific diagnosis, including characterization of the male, larval stages and eggs, and an ontogenetic/morphometric analysis of all the specimens are provided. Three diagnostic features found in all stages of T. uvae are the seta v2 which is distinctly shorter than the strongly serrated and rodlike sc1–2, while the leg tibiae I–II have three setae each, characteristics unique to T. uvae. Intra and inter-specific morphometric population differences and similarities among females were also described. An important variation observed was a dorsal surface reticulated, with a different morphology of microplates. Interestingly, the female mites that exhibited this feature on the tegument were only observed in the Florida population, suggesting variations observed could be due to aging, environmental conditions or host associations, so further study is needed.

Tenuipalpidae (Trombidiformes: Tetranychoidea) is an economically important family of plant-feeding mites. The family has approximately 1,100 described species in 41 genera with worldwide distribution. Currently, 40 species of Tenuipalpidae have been recorded from Brazil, and prior to this study only 11 were known from Bahia state. Five new species records are presented here for Bahia, making a total of 16 species now known from the state. Brevipalpus is considered the most important genus due to their association with, and ability to transmit, devastating plant viruses. Some diseases caused by viruses transmitted by Brevipalpus mites (VTBs) have already been recorded in the state of Bahia, such as the Passion fruit green spot virus and citrus leprosis. This paper presents a checklist of tenuipalpids reported from the state of Bahia in Brazil, including new records and an illustrated identification key to the species.
