Abstract

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.

Two new Eriophyes species (Acari: Eriophyidae) on tamarisk trees from Egypt

“…More than 286 species have been assigned to the genus Eriophyes von Siebold, 1851; among them seven species were described in Egypt to date. In this study, the Egyptian eriophyoids fauna was increased to 123 species in 37 genera (Zaher 1984;Elhalawany 2018Elhalawany , 2022Elhalawany & Ueckermann 2015, 2022Elhalawany et al , 2019Elhalawany et al , 2020Elhalawany et al , 2021.…”

Description of four new species, two new records, and mitochondrial COI gene of eriophyoid mites from Nanning, China (Acari: Eriophyoidea)

“…Moreover, the genus Diptilomiopus were found in 7 samples (≈10% of total number of samples). So far, 83 Abacarus species were reported worldwide, among which 50 species infest plant family Poaceae (Amrine & Stasny 1994;Elhalawany & Ueckermann 2015;Elhalawany et al 2019;Elhalawany et al 2020;Laska et al 2018;Skoracka 2004;Sur et al 2018); most Abacarus species found in Guangxi University are also from Poaceae.…”
