Abstract

One new genus and six new species of eriophyoid mite from Mountain Trusmadi, Malaysia are described and illustrated. They are Isoannulus morrisianae sp. nov. on Diospyros morrisiana (Ebenaceae), Abacarus bicolorus sp. nov. on Lespedeza bicolor (Leguminosae), Parneometaculus persicariae gen. nov. &amp; sp. nov. on Persicaria chinensis (Polygonaceae), Shevtchenkella miscanthis sp. nov. on Miscanthus floridulus (Poaceae), Davisella nitidis sp. nov. on Artocarpus nitidus subsp. lingnanensis (Moraceae), and Vimola blastis sp. nov. on Blastus cochinchinensis (Melastomataceae). Furthermore, two new records of eriophyoid mites are found: Knorella bambusae (Kuang &amp; Feng, 1989) rec. nov. on Bambusa sp. (Poaceae) and Diptilomiopus melastomae (Boczek &amp; Chandrapatya, 2002) rec. nov. on Melastoma malabathricum (Melastomataceae). All these new eriophyoid mite species and new records are vagrants causing no apparent symptom to their host plants.

Two new species of Davisella Amrine, Stasny et Flechtmann (Eriophyoidea: Diptilomiopidae) from Meliaceae trees from Bahia, Brazil

“…Types are deposited in the acarological collections of the Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Ilhéus, BA (UESC), Escola Superior de Agricultura 'Luiz de Queiroz', Piracicaba, SP (ESALQ), Universidade Estadual Paulista, São José do Rio Preto, SP (UNESP), and Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, Recife, PE (UFRPE), Brazil. The following diagnosis for females of Davisella is a compilation of the characters presented in Amrine et al (2003), the amended diagnosis by Yuan & Xue (2019), and shared traits of the new species presented in this paper.…”

“…Most of the nine species of the diptilomiopid mite genus Davisella (Amrine et al 2003) previously described (Rodrigues et al 2017;Yuan & Xue 2019) were collected from the Americas and/or associated with dicotyledons, except for D. haramotonis (Keifer, 1974), described from Hawaii and later reported in Cuba (Torre & Cuervo 2019), D. nitidis Yuan et Xue, 2019, described from Malaysia, and D. palmea (Flechtmann, 1998), described from a palm tree (Chetverikov & Craemer 2017).…”
