Two new species of Diptilomiopus Nalepa (Acari: Eriophyoidea) from India

Abstract

Two new species, Diptilomiopus indogangeticus n. sp., infesting Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa (Blume) Corner (Moraceae), and Diptilomiopus mohanasundarami n. sp., infesting Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae), are described from West Bengal, India. Diptilomiopus holoptelus Chakrabarti and Mondal and Diptilomiopus strebli (Boczek) are possible junior synonyms of Diptilomiopus integrifoliae Mohanasundaram and Diptilomiopus asperis Ghosh and Chakrabarti, respectively.

Four new Diptilomiopus mite species (Acari: Diptilomiopidae) from China

“…DNA barcoding of eriophyoid mites provides a valuable approach to uncover the possibility of cryptic diversity (Yin et al ., 2022). Genus Diptilomiopus is speciose, including 124 species (Liu et al 2019a; Chakrabarti et al . 2019; Qin et al 2019a; Qin et al 2019b; Ruan et al 2021; Qin et al 2022), while most species are distributed in the Oriental Region (Craemer et al 2017; Liu et al 2019a).…”
